Ive been working on a busybox implementation for dpkg-deb, i recently implemented the --fsys-tarfile option, but long options are frowned on in busybox due to the extra overheads. Ive started to use -t as an alternative to --fsys-tarfile, is there a reason on short option isnt used for --fsys-tarfile ? It would be good if i could be consistent with the offical tool Glenn
