The problem is the following line:

DEBCHANGE_MAINTTRAILER=yes#### debcheckout option added in 2.10.70

The way we parse the config files is by having bash source them and then
echo back the values of the config variables.  In this case, sourcing
/etc/devscripts runs debcheckout, which sources /etc/devscripts, which
runs debcheckout, ad inifitum.

There's no error to catch.  Your config file is saying to run
debcheckout, so that's what happens.
