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. Loic wrote
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.
