[PureOS] Droping the Uploader field in d/control within PureOS?

[Carsten Schoenert]

Hi,

as I'm still quite new with contributing to PureOS I faced a question 
yesterday while working on T1076 and T1079.

While preparing seahorse for byzantium lintian was complaining about 
'invalid-field-for-derivative' for the still existing Uploaders field.

https://lintian.debian.org/tags/invalid-field-for-derivative

Looking at https://tracker.pureos.net/w/development/packaging_overview/
there is mentioned "Note that the Uploaders: field remains untouched."

What is the rationale behind that note?

Personally I believe that Lintian is of course right here, I myself e.g 
have users that email me from time to time about some problems in KiCad 
e.g. which aren't rooted in Debian as they use the PPA for Ubuntu, but 
got my email address from the package data. I quite almost need to point 
the users to the PPA owner. It's not that difficult but sometimes 
annoying me.

So why should a user of PureOS get in contact with the uploaders of an 
package in Debian if he correctly should contact the packagers for PureOS?

Why is this error message in lintian currently ignored for PureOS?
