Thanks for the information, Jakub!

Things look good when run from the command line:

% PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME=0 uscan --report --verbose
-- Scanning for watchfiles in .
-- Found watchfile in ./debian
-- In debian/watch, processing watchfile line:
   https://launchpad.net/ocsinventory-server/
https://launchpad.net/ocsinventory-server/stable-[\d.]+/[\d.]+/\+download/OCSNG_UNIX_SERVER-([\d.]+).tar.gz
-- Found the following matching hrefs:

 => Newer version available from
    https://launchpad.net/ocsinventory-server/stable-2.1/2.1/+download/OCSNG_UNIX_SERVER-2.1.tar.gz
-- Scan finished

It is easy enough for me to put the environment variable before the
command, but I am wondering about Debian's automated tools on the
backend.
How do I configure the the source package so that the environment
variable is set for the automated tools that Debian uses?

% cat debian/watch
version=3
https://launchpad.net/ocsinventory-server/
https://launchpad.net/ocsinventory-server/stable-[\d.]+/[\d.]+/\+download/OCSNG_UNIX_SERVER-([\d.]+).tar.gz

Thanks for any help!
