Title:
  debuild fails if GREP_OPTIONS are set in environment

Status in “devscripts” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “devscripts” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: devscripts

  devscripts: version 2.10.61ubuntu5

  On my PC i set the GREP_OPTIONS environment variable in .bashrc:
  export GREP_OPTIONS='-Hn --color=auto'

  When the GREP_OPTIONS are set, debuild will fails with the following line:
  debuild: fatal error at line 643:
  don't understand dpkg-parsechangelog output: (standard input):1:Source: pkgname

  I recommend to reset all GREP environment variables to an emtpy string
  (default), to ensure that grep is working as expected within the
  devscripts.
