I sometimes use my work email in those, but that key is not in the Debian keyring. > In my ~/.devscripts I have both DEB_SIGN_KEYID and DEBSIGN_KEYID; I have > no idea why. Do you have references for these two variables? DEBSIGN_* is only used by debsign and only as a ~/.devscripts variable, not as an environment variable. DEB_SIGN_* is used by dpkg-buildpackage and only as an environment variable. I source ~/. devscripts from my ~/.profile and export some of those, likely you did something similar back in the day :) > It would be better to rely on existing env vars / config rather than > adding new git config options. Yes, but OTOH dgit has already set the precedent. -- Cheers, Andrej
