Package: xfce4-terminal
Version: 0.4.8-1+b1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 11.8.3

xfce4-terminal declares that it provide x-terminal-emulator, but it fails
to support the -e option in the way described in the policy (instead, the
- -x option does that).
paul at wollumbin ~ $ xfce4-terminal -e sleep 5
Unknown option "5"
paul at wollumbin ~ $ xfce4-terminal -x sleep 5 # window pops up for 5 seconds and disappears
paul at wollumbin ~ $ xterm -e sleep 5 # window pops up for 5 seconds and disappears
paul at wollumbin ~ $
Please don't provide x-terminal-emulator if your package doesn't meet the
requirements (other packages depend on that behavior). I believe gnome-terminal
in Debian proves a wrapper for itself to make -e behave as it should for
x-terminal-emulator. You could do the same if you want to keep providing
x-terminal-emulator.
