Yes, although I'm still working on the --help output improvements, which in some cases affect the bash-completion parsing of available options from a program. But I don't think this should affect dpkg-buildpackage for now, except for the missing = for options with arguments, which I'll be working on either for this release or next. > Since scripts/completion/bash/ only has dpkg-source so far, I'd like to > take dpkg-buildpackage as discussed — bash only, following the style and > layout of the dpkg-source file on main.

I only have a couple of incomplete local commits to try to handle dselect's --color options, but otherwise nothing else, no. > Would you prefer a merge request on Salsa, or a patch to this bug? MRs are disabled on salsa (for multiple reasons), so a patch series here for preservation purposes and if you want a branch somewhere would work. Thanks, Guillem
