kbuild: deb-pkg: remove support for "name <email>" form for DEBEMAIL
Commit d5940c60 ("kbuild: deb-pkg improve maintainer address generation") supported the "name <email>" form for DEBEMAIL, with behavior slightly different from devscripts. In Kbuild, if DEBEMAIL is given in the form "name <email>", it is used as-is, and DEBFULLNAME is ignored. In contrast, debchange takes the name from DEBFULLNAME (or NAME) if set, as described in 'man debchange': If this variable has the form "name <email>", then the maintainer name will also be taken from here if neither DEBFULLNAME nor NAME is set. This commit removes support for the "name <email> form for DEBEMAIL, as the current behavior is already different from debchange, and the Debian manual suggests setting the email address and name separately in DEBEMAIL and DEBFULLNAME. [1] If there are any complaints about this removal, we can re-add it, with better alignment with the debchange implementation.
