Well, according to the manpage the directive you've set "specifies  the
directory in which to look for the .changes and .dsc files", so when you
type debsign foo.changes it is searching for it in ../build-area. So its
actually doing the right thing.

However it shouldn't be so hard to do something like:
If file is not found in $DEBRELEASE_DEBS_DIR look for it in .

(or the other way round, but this would kinda defeat the sense of the
option).

Would that help you?

Best Regards,
Patrick
