Package: python Version: 2.6.7-3 Severity: minor Hi,
If I pass an unknown option to dh_python2, I get an error and a nonzero exit code which fails the build: ,---- | laney@raleigh> DH_NO_ACT=1 dh_clean --foo; echo $? | Unknown option: foo | 0 | laney@raleigh> DH_NO_ACT=1 dh_python2 --foo; echo $? | Usage: dh_python2 -p PACKAGE [-V [X.Y][-][A.B]] DIR [-X REGEXPR] | | | dh_python2: error: no such option: --foo | 2 `---- This is in contradiction to the guarantee given in debhelper(7) (which talks about using DH_OPTIONS. I only gave an example without this for simplicity): ,---- | DH_OPTIONS | Anything in this variable will be prepended to the command line arguments | of all debhelper commands. Command-specific options will be ignored by commands | that do not support them. `---- It'd be nice if dh_python2 respected this.
