maintainer-also-in-uploaders: delete empty Uploaders if needed

Filippo Giunchedi requested to merge filippo/lintian-brush:remove-uploaders into master

Hello, thank you for lintian-brush! I tried it on a package with Maintainer set the same as Uploaders and noticed it took two runs to fully converge:

$ lintian-brush --no-update-changelog
Lintian tags fixed: {'maintainer-also-in-uploaders', 'insecure-copyright-format-uri', 'priority-extra-is-replaced-by-priority-optional', 'package-uses-old-debhelper-compat-version', 'uses-debhelper-compat-file', 'trailing-whitespace', 'package-lacks-versioned-build-depends-on-debhelper'}
$ lintian-brush --no-update-changelog
Lintian tags fixed: {'debian-control-has-empty-field'}
$ lintian-brush --no-update-changelog
No changes made.

The attached commit fixes this situation preemptively in maintainer-also-in-uploaders, hope that helps!
