With a couple of exceptions, devscripts uses configuration file
variables and ignores the contents of the environment. debsign's man
page currently specifies:
-kkeyid
Specify the key ID to be used for signing; overrides any
-m and
-e options.
[...]
CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
The two configuration files /etc/devscripts.conf and
~/.devscripts are
sourced in that order to set configuration variables.
Command line
options can be used to override configuration file settings.
Environ‐
ment variable settings are ignored for this purpose. The
currently
recognised variables are:
[...]
DEBSIGN_KEYID
And this is the -k option.
Reading through the changelog indicates that this has been the case (and
the environment variable ignored) since devscripts 2.6.90 in early 2002.
Certainly the version of the script imported in to SVN in July 2004
exhibits the current behaviour.
