Thanks for the quick reply Paride. For the defaults, I see that '-a' is the most common option, so if the decision is between -st vs -ast, seems to me it should be the latter? I am not the decision maker here, but I would strongly vote for coupling the behavior with Debhelper 14+ usage so that we can add Lintian rules and Salsa-CI automation to suggest maintainers to run `wrap-and-sort -ast` on packages that haven't done it. By coupling the new defaults to a new Debhelper version we can keep wrap-and-sort "backward compatible" and avoid annoying people on current versions by having sudden changes in behavior. If changes apply only starting from a specific version, the transition will be smoother.
