But it's inherited from the environment by default. So if in the default case the presence of the DEBEMAIL environment variable changes the behavior of pbuilder, but it behaves wrongly (as was my case when I was using pbuilder in the past: my .changes files were set to Changed-By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] because DEBEMAIL held only an email), then pbuilder ought to be fixed to use DEBFULLNAME/DEBEMAIL/EMAIL correctly. I opened the bug against devscripts and pbuilder at the same time in the hope that the maintainers would take a decision for a common format for these environment variables. Right now, someone configuring his environment in the hope that it will be reused across programs will be deceived by DEBEMAIL which has different behaviors / expected formats across programs. All I did is point at two programs with different behaviors. -- Loïc Minier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
