OPTIONS

       --vendor vendor

              variable or /etc/dpkg/origins/default.

ENVIRONMENT

       DEB_VENDOR
              This  setting  defines  the  current  vendor.  If  not set, it will discover the current vendor by
              reading /etc/dpkg/origins/default.

       DPKG_COLORS
              Sets the color mode (since dpkg 1.18.5).  The  currently  accepted  values  are:  auto  (default),
              always and never.

       DPKG_NLS
              If  set,  it  will  be  used  to decide whether to activate Native Language Support, also known as
              internationalization (or i18n) support (since dpkg 1.19.0).  The accepted  values  are:  0  and  1
              (default).
