[buildd-tools-devel] Bug#605745: sbuild: outdated information on use of DEBEMAIL

Package: sbuild
Version: 0.60.5-1

/etc/sbuild/sbuild.conf, /usr/share/doc/sbuild/examples/example.sbuildrc:

| # Name to use as override in .changes files for the Maintainer: field
| # Defaults to the DEBEMAIL environment variable, if set, or else the
| # Maintainer: field will not be overridden unless set here.
| #$maintainer_name='Francesco Paolo Lovergine <frankie at debian.org>';

man sbuild:

| -m, --maintainer=maintainer
|        Passed  to  dpkg-genchanges and is used to set the Maintainer:
|        field in the .changes file(s).  This defaults to the DEBEMAIL
|        environment variable if set.
[...]
| The following environment variables are used by sbuild:
|
| DEBEMAIL
|        The maintainer name of the user.

AFAICT this is no longer the case since 0.58.3.
