Bug#44570: dpkg-dev: three different man page omissions
Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.4.1.6
Severity: normal
The -k switch to dpkg-buildpackage is not documented in the man page.
The -sgpg switch to dpkg-buildpackage is referred to in the man page, but
insufficently documented. It is listed in the paragraph on -psigncommand,
but should have a paragraph of its own as well.
The -spgp switch to dpkg-buildpackage is not documented in the man page.
The switches work, and are in the --help as follows, but still need to
be added to the man page as well.
=== 'dpkg-buildpackage --help' snippet ===
-k<keyid> the key to use for signing
-sgpg the sign-command is called like GPG
-spgp the sign-command is called like PGP
=== end snippet ===
