I also see this bug in bookwork: dh-make-elpa doesnt work at all
unless DEBFULLNAME (and maybe DEBEMAIL) is set. Without that you get
Can't locate object method "gecos" via package "$USER" (perhaps you
forgot to load "$USER"?) at
/usr/share/perl5/DhMakeELPA/Command/Packaging.pm line 127.
(I ran without the --pkg-emacsen argument)
I could send a patch to mention these variables in the man-page since
they seem to be obeyed, and useful for the user to know about, even if
the underlying bug is fixed
