ENVIRONMENT
EMAIL, DEBEMAIL
If either of these variables is set, it will be used as the
maintainer/uploader’s email address.
If both are set, DEBEMAIL will take precedence.
If neither is set, the current user’s email address (or, if that
fails, the email of the last original package uploader)
will be used.
DEBFULLNAME
The maintainer/uploader’s full name to be used.
If unset, the name specified in the passwd file or,
if there is none, the name of the last
original package uploader.
DEBNEST_RULES
The rules file to be used. If unset, /usr/share/debneset/rules is
used. If you want to use cdbs based rules, you would set it
’/usr/share/debnest/rules-cdbs’. Because /usr/share/debnest/
is a default search path, you can specify just ’rules-cdbs’.
EXTRA_BUILDDEP
Extra build-dependency to be added in your new debian/control.
Default is ", debnest"
