BUT DEBFULLNAME=foo dch -i -m bla uses the current user name. It doesn't use the current user name, it uses whatever was already in the changelog. From dch(1): --maintmaint, -m Do not modify the maintainer details previously listed in the changelog. This is useful particularly for sponsors wanting to automatically add a sponsorship message without disrupting the other changelog details. Note that there may be some interest- ing interactions if multi-maintainer mode is in use; you will probably wish to check the changelog manually before uploading it in such cases. So far as I can see, this matches documented behaviour. Were you perhaps expecting dch to use -m as message, similar to e.g. svn / git commit?
