Adding the appropriate variant of DEBFULLNAME="Loïc Minier <lool-nospam-dooz.org> to your aliases should resolve most of your request, since DEBFULLNAME is one of the few environment variables we honor. > I'd like to do the same with the DEBCHANGE_VENDOR which is used for > version number heuristics, but currently devscripts only read from > command-line or config files; hence the attached patch to read from the > environment. There was a specific choice at some point in devscripts' history not to honor configuration from the environment except for a select few items (like DEBFULLNAME). It's been that way, as far as I can tell, the entirety of devscripts' history, so I'm hesitant to change that, especially just for one script. Hopefully at least the DEBFULLNAME information helps.
