[git-buildpackage] setting author on command line for gbp dch

[Gijs Molenaar]

hi!

I'm building packages on Ubuntu 16.04 for Ubuntu 16.04 using
git-buildpackage 0.7.2.

I try to automatically generate a changelog entry using

$ gbp dch -D xenial

Problem is that that the key we use to sign these packages doesnt
correspond to the ID i use to commit to git. It looks like gbp ignores
my DEBEMAIL and DEBFULLNAME settings, also when i supply
the --no-git-author. It looks like newer version of gbp support
the --dch-opt flag, but the 0.7.2 version of ubuntu doesn't seem to support
this.

Do you have any suggestions on how to actually set this author in the
changelog entry?

Thanks for making this great package!

greetings,
