Package: devscripts
Version: 2.16.4
Severity: normal
User: devscripts at packages.debian.org
Usertags: debdiff
Owner: !

The Bash completion function for the ‘debdiff’ command omits some
options. For example, the ‘--help’ option:

    $ debdiff --h<TAB>   # result: no completions offered.

The following options are omitted:

    --noconf    (though ‘--no-conf’ is included)
    --help
    --version

All “short” (single-hyphen, one-letter) options are also omitted:

    -h
    -v
    -q
    -w

I will attempt to correct this by re-writing the completion function.
