Bug#293280: dpkg: [DPKG-DEB] option --vextract, -X would be more consistent in format "--verbose --extract"

[Jari Aalto <jari.aalto@cante.net>]

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.10.26
Severity: wishlist


dpkg-deb uses option  --vextract, -X to 

  ...prints a listing of the  files  extracted  as  it  goes, while --extract (-x)

In most of the programs this is the action of --verbose option. Perhaps it would be
mo consistent to offer:

   --verbose --extract		aka -v -x

Instead of the current action. If the current option cannot be
changed, perhaps new option

   --verbose

Could be added.
