that, the configuration variable described below is used.

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.
