Bug#546531: please warn about the dangers of $DEBEMAIL in comments and manpage

Looking at the source for pbuilder and for dpkg-genchanges, isn't this
just a case of pbuilder using -m when calling dpkg-genchanges when it
should be using -e?  That will set Changed-By instead of Maintainer, which
is correct.

The bug report seems to be part of a previous mail conversation from 2006,
so I'm not sure if I'm missing some additional reason why that might be an
issue, such as debsign using Maintainer instead of Changed-By (which would
in turn be a bug in debsign).
