Public bug reported:

Building a package in focal now gives me the following lintian error:

E: ppp changes: inconsistent-maintainer Marc Deslauriers
<marc.deslauriers at ubuntu.com> (changes vs. source) Ubuntu Developers
<ubuntu-devel-discuss at lists.ubuntu.com>

This should not be an error in Ubuntu as the maintainer field is handled
differently:
