Bug Description
Hi,
my environment has the following variables set:
DEBFULLNAME=
<email address hidden>
<email address hidden>
These are to allow me to use distro-specific tools which should automagically recognize the correct email address to rely on while doing packaging works.
Whilst some utilities (e.g. the "syncpackage" tool, provided by ubuntu-dev-tools) seems to float fine between the variables and properly set things up, "debchange" doesn't, it always takes the value of DEBEMAIL and compels me to either change the value by hand or prepend the command with a <email address hidden> to override the value set by the environment.
IMHO, the correct behavior would be reading UBUMAIL in first instance and, only if unset, moving forward Debian-way.
At most least, a command line option should be provided.

Time and resources permitting, I will propose a patch.
