Changes to devscripts

[Martin Meredith]

That doesn't really solve my issue though - ok, it's a workaround, but

1) I'm not going to put it every time 
2) If I do - I might miss some warnings that I wouldn't otherwise
3) My issue was more of it being something that should be changed in the
script, not change the way I work with things. Surely this cannot only
be used by *me* for doing work in ubuntu AND debian ?
