Package: ppp
Version: 2.4.4rel-10.1
Severity: wishlist
On the man page we see,
with an environment that is empty except
for some environment variables that give information about the link.
The environment
variables that pppd sets are:
DEVICE The name of the serial tty device being used.
IFNAME The name of the network interface being used.
etc. But in /etc/ppp/ip-up etc. we see
# The environment is cleared before executing this script...
# These variables are for the use of the scripts run by run-parts
PPP_IFACE="$1"
PPP_TTY="$2"
PPP_SPEED="$3"
PPP_LOCAL="$4"
PPP_REMOTE="$5"
PPP_IPPARAM="$6"
export PPP_IFACE PPP_TTY PPP_SPEED PPP_LOCAL PPP_REMOTE PPP_IPPARAM
Well, it seems that some of the PPP_* variables merely duplicate the
variables mentioned on the man page, which the man page says
aren't cleared.

A previous maintainer added them, I cannot remove them.
