You'll need to set your DEBFULLNAME envvar when running dh_make. If the
maintainer name is empty, you'll end up with broken changelog.

So something like this:

DEBFULLNAME="First Lastname" dh_make -e your at mail.address -f
../path-to-dist.tar.gz

(so nothing special, just make sure that you've set DEBFULLNAME when
running the tool).

This broke somewhere between 1.0 and 3.2 (it used to work fine without
DEBFULLNAME in 1.0).
