  debnest-debian-0.0.1.orig/debnest_0.0.1.tar.gz
  debnest-debian-0.0.1.orig/debnest_0.0.1.dsc

ENVIRONMENT


EMAIL, DEBEMAIL 

  If  either  of  these  variables  is set, it will be used as the
  maintainer/uploader's email address.
  If both are set, DEBEMAIL will take precedence.
  If neither is set, the current user's email address (or, if that
  fails, the email of the last original package uploader)
  will be used.

DEBFULLNAME 

  The maintainer/uploader's full name to be used.
  If  unset, the name specified in the passwd file or,
  if there is none, the  name  of  the  last
  original package uploader.

DEBNEST_RULES 

  The rules file to be used. If unset, /usr/share/debneset/rules is
  used. If you want to use cdbs based rules, you would set it
  '/usr/share/debnest/rules-cdbs'. Because /usr/share/debnest/
  is a default search path, you can specify just 'rules-cdbs'.

EXTRA_BUILDDEP 

  Extra build-dependency to be added in your new debian/control.
  Default is ", debnest"
