Bug#567484: pbuilder: -e$DEBEMAIL instead of -e$DEBFULLNAME

>Some more info:

Hello

Any updates on this? As stated in the previous comment in this bug
report dpkg-buildpackage does the right thing without parameters. I
have used the attached trivial patch and reapplied after every upgrade
to the package for almost 2 years and it works fine.

Hope this helps,
Miguel
