Bug Description

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

E: ppp changes: inconsistent-maintainer Marc Deslauriers <email address hidden> (changes vs. source) Ubuntu Developers <email address hidden>

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