[backportpackage] backportpackage errors out on packages with no Ubuntu revision

[Micah Gersten]

backportpackage should either clear the DEBEMAIL env variable or run update-maintainer on packages that currently have no Ubuntu version as the new backport versioning scheme triggers the update-maintainer error for people with ubuntu.com E-Mail addresses

I think clearing the env variable for the debuild call is the better option as we don't generally run update-maintainer on no change rebuilds AFAIK

Hrm, clearing DEBEMAIL makes the changelog entry not DTRT when I do it on the backportpackage line, so this would only have to be for the step of creating the source package, not the dch part.
