grep-excuses downloads the update_excuses.html file and greps it for the

libwww-perl package is required for this
script. If no name is given on the command line, first the environment
variable
DEBFULLNAME is used if it is defined, and failing that, the
configuration variable described below is used.

- Do not read any configuration files. This can only be used as the first
option given on the command-line.

CONFIGURATION VARIABLES¶
The two configuration files
/etc/devscripts.conf and
~/.devscripts
are sourced in that order to set configuration variables. Command line options
can be used to override configuration file settings. Environment variable
settings are ignored for this purpose. The currently recognised variable is:
- GREP_EXCUSES_MAINTAINER
- The default maintainer, email or package to grep for if none is specified
on the command line.
