Ouch. This is really ugly; thanks for your bug report!

Carnë, this seems to be a side effect of
23b15bd799ee7e7f9394119a98bdef510424be3d.
Could you take a look please? (I'm not sure what the best fix would

David, as a workaround you can set the environment variables DEBEMAIL
or EMAIL to your preferred email address for packaging to skip this
code path.
