Bug Description
Stable update justification:
Impact: New packagers trying to use dh_make in a desktop session started by lightdm get horribly confused when it outputs a huge pile of garbage to debian/changelog and debian/control, due to lightdm not setting LOGNAME while gdm does. (Iain Lane points out that users of zsh are unaffected because it sets LOGNAME itself.)
Development fix: https:/
Stable fix: Identical to 0.59ubuntu1, just with a different version number (0.59ubuntu0.1). http://
TEST CASE: Create a dummy package (I created an empty example-0.1 directory and changed into it). Run 'env -u DEBFULLNAME -u DEBEMAIL dh_make' (add '-u LOGNAME' before 'dh_make' to test the dh-make fix even in the presence of a fixed display manager). If this bug is present then you'll see lots of junk in debian/changelog and debian/control rather than valid files.
Regression potential: Obviously check that dh_make still actually works, but I think this update is pretty safe.
Original report follows:
Please read this description published on ubuntuforums:

I'm also affected by this bug and I can add a little detail - dh_make put list of users to debian/changelog.
I think that this is critical bug in oneiric.
