Package: debhelper Version: 10.2.5 Severity: wishlist Hi,
As it is, if you pass an "unknown" option to dh, it will run every single helper it knows. This is unhelpful and slow - even more so because said option will trigger the slow path of "Getopt" parsing making the user pay even more for simplicity. This even holds for "-B" and other short forms of even "known" options. We should probably extend the PROMISE NOOP to include options as well. Thanks, ~Niels
