I don't think so.
The manpage says:
If a .changes, .dsc or .commands file is specified, it is signed,
otherwise, debian/changelog is parsed to determine the name of the .changes file
to look for in the parent directory.
--debs-dir DIR
Look for the .changes and .dsc files in directory DIR instead of
the parent of the source directory. This should either be an absolute path or
relative to the top of the source directory.
So it will look in DEBRELEASE_DEBS_DIR *if* I don't specify a changes file, but
if I do, it will ignore DEBRELEASE_DEBS_DIR and just sign the file I say (in the
dir I say). That's what I understand at least, and it's what it does if I create
an empty directory:
emi...@saturno:~/deb/sponsor/fische$ ls fische_3.0.3-1_i386.changes
fische_3.0.3-1_i386.changes
emi...@saturno:~/deb/sponsor/fische$ ls ..
fische
emi...@saturno:~/deb/sponsor/fische$ debsign fische_3.0.3-1_i386.changes
debsign: config file specified DEBRELEASE_DEBS_DIR directory ../build-area does
not exist!
emi...@saturno:~/deb/sponsor/fische$ mkdir ../build-area
emi...@saturno:~/deb/sponsor/fische$ debsign fische_3.0.3-1_i386.changes
signfile fische_3.0.3-1.dsc 4A08B2FE

Successfully signed dsc and changes files
emi...@saturno:~/deb/sponsor/fische$ ls ../build-area/
emi...@saturno:~/deb/sponsor/fische$
So it seems to me the problem is that when I specify a changes/dsc file to sign,
it won't use DEBRELEASE_DEBS_DIR... so it shouldn't check that it exists either.
