Hi,

I also think this is a useful feature. The particular use case I'm
interested in is as follows. Currently schroot removes the DISPLAY env
variable, However, I'd prefer if it wasn't, because this breaks
running X applications from inside the chroot.

I second this feature request!  Something like debuild's
--preserve-envvar= would be just fine with me (allows for simple
regexps, but can also easily list multiple env vars to preserve).

I also think this is a good idea

The debuild man page says

     --preserve-envvar=var, -evar
              Do not clean the var variable from the environment.

              If var ends in an asterisk ("*") then all variables with names 
that match the portion of var before the asterisk will be preserved.

Something like that would work well, I think.

                             Regards, Faheem
