Next time please call `$ update-maintainer` to update maintainer fields in debian/control when adding the first ubuntuX delta to the package.

Also please update your DEBNAME to be without '(email Canonical)' bit in either your environment, or in ~/.devscripts. If you need to set a specific gpg key, please use DEBSIGN_KEYID= in ~/.devscripts

Uploading with above changes done.
