first the environment variable
DEBFULLNAME is used if it is defined,
and failing that, the configuration variable described below is used.

CONFIGURATION VARIABLES¶
The two configuration files
/etc/devscripts.conf and

can be used to override configuration file settings. Environment variable
settings are ignored for this purpose. The currently recognised variable is:
- GREP_EXCUSES_MAINTAINER

on the command line.
