You are right, I was calling it this way: debuild -S -sd -d -kMYKEY --no-lintian while this way it works: debuild --no-lintian -S -sd -d -kMYKEY About the man page, it says: debuild [debuild options] [dpkg‐buildpackage options] [--lintian‐opts lintian options] which let me suppose lintian options have to be called at last. But it is just for the specific --lintian‐opts, not --(no-)lintian, OK. > > I also tried setting: > > export DEBUILD_LINTIAN=no > > but it still uses lintian. > > > > If you've added that to your shell, or a file like .profile, then > that's not particularly surprising, given that the same manpage also > says that DEBUILD_LINTIAN is a configuration variable, which is read > from one of two files, and "[e]nvironment variable settings are ignored > when these configuration files are read". (In common with almost every > variable any script in devscripts uses.) /etc/devscripts.conf says "This file is sourced by /bin/bash ...", however, as you says, there is that note in debuild man page. Thanks for the quick reply, I suppose we could close this issue.
