Bug#972147: pcbasic: please make the build reproducible

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] I noticed that
pcbasic could not be built reproducibly.

This is because your recent entry in the debian/changelog is malformed:

    -- Ying-Chun Liu (PaulLiu)  Tue, 06 Oct 2020 00:51:16 +0800

The missing email address causes dpkg to not parse the date correctly,
resulting in it not exporting the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH [1] environment
variable. This then prevents my patch (see #948872) from embedding a
deterministic date into the documentation.

Patch attached.
