Bug Description

Hi,

When you upload something to the Ubuntu archive you get a mail from
<email address hidden> with a real name of "Ubuntu Installer".

I believe this name is a hang-over from the Debian heritage, but it makes
little sense these days, and is potentially confusing to people that don't
know the history.

I would suggest it be changed to something like "Ubuntu Archive Software".

Thanks,

James
