Using ~/.devscripts means running shell and passing variables out of
it, which is quite hard to get right. The devscripts config loading
module got it wrong until recently, is still a bit hacky really (but
there is a patch) and still needs migration of many of the scripts
from their own bad config loading implementations to the config
loading module. I think it would be best to avoid code (especially
shell) as configuration in favour of static configuration files with
dynamic overrides added via environment variables where needed.
