Well, these are for changelog trailers/commit metadata. I sometimes use my work email in those, but that key is not in the Debian keyring.

DEBSIGN_* is only used by debsign and only as a ~/.devscripts variable, not as an environment variable. DEB_SIGN_* is used by dpkg-buildpackage and only as an environment variable.

I source ~/. devscripts from my ~/.profile and export some of those, likely you did something similar back in the day :)

Yes, but OTOH dgit has already set the precedent.
