Well, AFAICT this makes debchange depend on an environment variable, maybe not for working correctly, but at least for not being super-annoying. What is the problem with letting DEBEMAIL in the environment take precedence, but still honor it from ~/.devscripts if present and $DEBEMAIL is not set? That surely is better than having to fix my random local FQDN everytime and/or having to setup environment variables.
