Bug#669873: pbuilder silently ignores options

[Maarten Bezemer]

Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.208
Severity: normal

When options are placed after the .dsc-file when using the build command, these options are ignored.

For example:

  pbuilder build my.dsc --allow-untrusted

might fail when untrusted packages are going to be installed and

  pbuilder build --allow-untrusted my.dsc

works.
I known (found out) that the man pages are telling that the options should before the .dsc-file.
But, there is no error or warning generated about incorrect command line parameters, so it is easy to get it wrong without knowing.

So I suggest that either options after the .dsc-file are allowed or some kind of error/warning is issued

Regards,
  Maarten
