Public bug reported:
Hi,
my environment has the following variables set:
DEBFULLNAME="Alessio Treglia"
DEBEMAIL=ales...@debian.org
UBUMAIL=quadris...@ubuntu.com
These are to allow me to use distro-specific tools which should
automagically recognize the correct email address to rely on while doing
packaging works.
Whilst some utilities (e.g. the "syncpackage" tool, provided by ubuntu-
dev-tools) seems to float fine between the variables and properly set
things up, "debchange" doesn't, it always takes the value of DEBEMAIL
and compels me to either change the value by hand or prepend the command
with a DEBEMAIL=quadris...@ubuntu.com to override the value set by the
environment.
IMHO, the correct behavior would be reading UBUMAIL in first instance and, only
if unset, moving forward Debian-way.
At most least, a command line option should be provided.
