I think Eric confused you with one of the (many) other contrarians in the Project. >:-) (FWIW, I disagree with Eric that environment variables should override command-line options. The real mistake was probably codifying the explicit usage of ".." in the dpkg-deb command line; if only that directory was supposed to be used, it would have made more sense to just implicitly assume it inside the tool, and thus give us the freedom to change it later.) -- G.
