devscripts.conf(5) says:
The two configuration files are /etc/devscripts.conf for system-wide

assignments in them; they are both sourced (if present) by many of
the
devscripts scripts.
This is a hack, not a proper handling of the configuration.
fwiw, the maintainers have been in violent agreement with this for
years, but it needs someone with tuits to replace the current situation
with a solution that's usable from all the languages included in
devscripts and maintains the existing semantics (it's not just simple
key=value pairs, users are actively relying on being able to use shell
within the file in some cases, and that at least needs considering).
