   Bug#965335: Lintian: missing complaining

   With new dpkg upload (last month), the package will not even build with an   
   invalid email address as   
   mail validation checks happen in dpkg now. You will see a "dpkg-source: error:   
   cannot parse Maintainer field value "   
   if you try doing that.   
      
   With this, I think lintian does not need to do anything as such. If you agree,   
   please close this bug report.
