dpkg-reconfigure affected by environment variables



Is it normal that dpkg-reconfigure can be affected by environment
variables?

For instance, I have PERL5LIB set to /home/vlefevre/lib/site_perl,
and when I do a "su", this variable is kept in the environment,
and in the strace output on a dpkg-reconfigure, I could see that
$PERL5LIB was searched for Perl modules.
