There is not ‘dm’ command is not mentioned at the upload queue Read Me
document <URL:ftp://ftp.upload.debian.org/pub/UploadQueue/README>.

As best I can tell, that document is the specification for queue
manipulation commands. What am I missing?

Where is the canonical specification of the commands accepted by ‘dak’?

Should ‘dcut’ support only one of those specifications, or should it be
attempting to support the ‘…/UploadQueue/README’ commands as well?
