Package: devscripts
Version: 2.13.9

-d is documented as an alias for --data-dir, and -a as an alias for --arch.
But none of these short option works:

$ chdist -d /foo create unstable
Unknown option: d
Usage:
     chdist [<options>] [<command>] [<command parameters>]

Options:
     -h, --help
         Provide a usage message.

     -d, --data-dir <DIR>
         Choose data directory (default: $HOME/.chdist/).

     -a, --arch <ARCH>
         Choose architecture (default: `dpkg --print-architecture`).

     --version
         Display version information.

[...]

$ chdist -a m68k create unstable
Unknown option: a
Usage:
     chdist [<options>] [<command>] [<command parameters>]

Options:
     -h, --help
         Provide a usage message.

     -d, --data-dir <DIR>
         Choose data directory (default: $HOME/.chdist/).

     -a, --arch <ARCH>
         Choose architecture (default: `dpkg --print-architecture`).

     --version
         Display version information.
