Bug#1063768: debuginfod: man page gives an outdated equivalent of -U



Package: debuginfod
Version: 0.188-2.1
Severity: minor
Tags: upstream
Control: found -1 0.190-1

Related to the bug I recently opened regarding a missing dependency on
libarchive-tools, debuginfod(8) says:

       -U     Activate DEB/DDEB patterns in archive scanning.  The default  is
              off.      Equivalent     to    -Z .deb='dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile'
              -Z .ddeb='dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile'.

but that hasn't been true since at least upstream version 0.184. What it
is now equivalent to is these commands quoted from debuginfod.cxx, if I'm
reading the code correctly:

    case 'U':
      scan_archives[".deb"]="(bsdtar -O -x -f - data.tar\\*)<";
      scan_archives[".ddeb"]="(bsdtar -O -x -f - data.tar\\*)<";
      scan_archives[".ipk"]="(bsdtar -O -x -f - data.tar\\*)<";
      // .udeb too?
      break;

Thanks,
    smcv
