Why does ember-cli not evaluate .jshintrc?

Ember CLI

Hi,

I have added the following setting to my .jshintrc so that debugger statements are accepted:

"debug"         : true,   // Allow debugger statements e.g. browser breakpoints.

But the linter step tells me:

routes/reopen.js: line 29, col 9, Forgotten 'debugger' statement?

Why?

Thanks, Daniel G
