Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.65.1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/debuild
According the man page, debuild is suppose to accept --username value
as a valid option:
--username username
When signing, use debrsign instead of debsign. username
specifies the credentials to be used.
So I pass this option through git-buildpackage, which invokes debuild
as follows:
debuild -i -I --username value
however debuild complains:
debuild: unknown dpkg-buildpackage/debuild option: --username
debuild: unknown dpkg-buildpackage/debuild option: value
debuild passes the option through to dpkg-buildpackage, which then
complains some more.
If --username is not a valid option it should not be documented in the man page.
Trying --username=value also generates a similar error.

That's not correct. All debuild options must come first, as mentioned
in the man page:
Note the order of options here: the debuild options come first, then
the dpkg-buildpackage ones, then finally the checker options.

This happens because as soon as we see a non-debuild option, we break
out of our option parsing and treat the rest as options for the other
tools that get invoked.
