Bug Description

Please change this to a feature request. Line 705 is unhelpful about how to report problems, I suggest it should aim the user at ubuntu-bug(1). This occurs at other places as well, but I've mainly experienced line 705.

Listadmin probably inherited this from upstream, or perhaps changed from use of $maintainer variable. When it errors at line 705, the message is
    Can not find version information, please mail maintainer.
Without using the $maintainer variable.
As according to the $maintainer variable, that would be kjetilho+listadmin\@ifi.uio.no
but according to synaptic, it's Ubuntu Developers <email address hidden>

Mail to ubuntu-devel-discuss gets held for moderators, and anyway seems obtuse. Ubunut-bug seems a better choice, as long as ubuntu developers want to be the first in line.
