That suggests you've added it in the wrong part of the command line. https://manpages.debian.org/bookworm/devscripts/debuild.1.en.html clearly shows in the synopsis that all debuild-specific options must come _before_ any dpkg-buildpackage-specific options, and that --(no- )lintian affects the behaviour of debuild itself, so falls into the former set. What *exactly* does your debuild invocation look like? > I also tried setting: > export DEBUILD_LINTIAN=no > but it still uses lintian. > If you've added that to your shell, or a file like .profile, then that's not particularly surprising, given that the same manpage also says that DEBUILD_LINTIAN is a configuration variable, which is read from one of two files, and "[e]nvironment variable settings are ignored when these configuration files are read". (In common with almost every variable any script in devscripts uses.) Regards, Adam
