(Get the code!)
Hm, looks like I was approaching this from the wrong angle.
The DEBCHANGE_TZ variable has been introduced to specifically override any environment variables. At least that is my understanding now. What I want can be done like this (unless DEBCHANGE_TZ is set in ~/.devscripts)
TZ=Japan dch -i
TZ=Europe/Berlin dch -i
...
Makes me wonder if DEBCHANGE_TZ is actually useful (see comment from Loïc Minier in debbug 417261 on Thu, 5 Apr 2007 10:36:39 +0200) instead of detrimental. The documentation should be improved to prevent misunderstandings like in my case. I'll leave this bug open to achieve that.
