Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.15.8.11
Severity: normal
Hello,
According to dpkg-parsechangelog --help and man dpkg-parsechangelog,
dpkg-parsechangelog -l changelog is supposed to parse the file changelog.
Instead i get "dpkg-parsechangelog: unknown option `-l'".
Regards,
Harish

You did not read those correctly, it's written:
-l<changelogfile> get per-version info from this file.
There is no space after the "-l".
This might be counter-intuitive but it's the default convention used by
most old dpkg scripts. We might improve this at some point, but it's a low
priority thing.
That said if someone feels like to tackle this, I'm happy to review code
and give direction.
Cheers,
