Calling

uses "foo" as name in the changelog entry. BUT

DEBFULLNAME=foo dch -i -m bla

uses the current user name.

It doesn't use the current user name, it uses whatever was already in the changelog.

From dch(1):

       --maintmaint, -m
Do not modify the maintainer details previously listed in the changelog. This is useful particularly for sponsors wanting to automatically add a sponsorship message without disrupting the other changelog details. Note that there may be some interest- ing interactions if multi-maintainer mode is in use; you will probably wish to check the changelog manually before uploading
              it in such cases.

So far as I can see, this matches documented behaviour. Were you perhaps expecting dch to use -m as "message", similar to e.g. svn / git commit?

Adam
