Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.14.20
Severity: minor
The options passed to the program are not handled in consistent manner.
E.g.
-lchangelogfile
it's an error to specify:
-l changelogfile
Likewise for:
-Fchangelogformat
-Llibdir
While it's allowed in:
--format outputformat
-v version
-u version
-f version
-t version
-n number
-o number
SUGGESTION
Unify options handling to allow whitespace between OPTARG and VALUE:
-<SINGLE ARG OPT>[space]VALUE
Likewise for not requiring whitespace for single letter options:
-<SINGLE ARG OPT>VALUE
