Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.19.7
Severity: important
Between versions 1.19.6 and 1.19.7 the behavior of the -P option for
dpkg-buildpackage changed. At 1.19.6 if there was no string directly on
the -P option, the following argument would be interpreted as the
profiles to set. At 1.19.7 the string MUST be part of the same argument.
ie at 1.19.6, `dpkg-buildpackage -a arm64 -P cross` worked, while
1.19.7 *requires* `dpkg-buildpackage -a arm64 -Pcross` (the latter may
have worked with 1.19.6, but the former worked with 1.19.6)
I see good arguments both for and against allowing or not the profile
list being a separate argument. Overtly user-visible behavior though
should NOT change with patch-level changes (should be minor-version).

No further information has been provided, so I'm closing this report.
