Bug#554360: alien: Use DEBEMAIL when creating Debian packages

2009-11-04 Thread Christoph Weber
Package: alien
Version: 8.72
Severity: wishlist


When you convert packages to Debian format, alien should get the mail
address from the DEBEMAIL environment variable, just like dh_make.
This will allow an easier separation of your email addresses for package
maintenance and for private mail.

I use debemail=jo...@debian.org , but I would not want to put that email
address on the suboptimial packages alien generates. I suspect most DDs
would agree.
