Take petsc as an example.  debian/control says
  Maintainer: Debian Science Maintainers <debian-science-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org>


I build using "sbuild -A -s -d unstable".

The .changes file generated by sbuild contains
  Maintainer: Drew Parsons <dparsons at debian.org>

instead of using "Debian Science Maintainers" from debian/control.
