Bug#785421: devscripts: [debdiff] Use DEBRELEASE_DEBS_DIR

[Craig Small]

Package: devscripts
Version: 2.15.4
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

As you can see below, my .devscripts contains a DEBRELEASE_DEBS_DIR
field.  Most devscripts obey this option, debdiff does not.

The patch, mostly stolen from debi, lets you use either the devscripts
option or use --debs-dir, just like the other programs.

I made it a git-am patch, not sure if you take pull requests or not 
so figured this was the easiest way.
