Package: devscripts Version: 2.10.38 Severity: normal When I call debuild with --preserve-env and also have GREP_OPTIONS set in my environment. My GREP_OPTIONS="--color=always" and get passed to the call to grep of the dpkg-parsechangelog output. For what that part of the script is trying to do it makes more sense to just use perl's builtin grep. I've attached a patch below. Note that the script calls the system grep in a couple other places, but I haven't patched those ones, just this one instance:
