would rather not touch VCs-specific scripts
===========================================

That's fine.  We don't need complete coverage. :) If someone else is
interested in it, they can do it.

Reflecting on it what I was picking up on here is that in the RFH bug report there is a comment about making the scripts more coherent. Well it strikes me that they are at their most incoherent in the VCS scripts. So I thought about it and then thought, "nah nah not for me". If I am not willing to touch the code of a script, then I am not eager to look at the bash completion. More generally if someone actually wants to make them more coherent they have to come up with a vision of what that would look like and put a lot of work into it. Coherence is an indication of intelligent design not evolution. Just ask your appendix!

debrelease (err ...dput-ng?)

Not sure what the parenthetical statement is supposed to mean.


The first point here is that now we have two completing packages "dput" and "dput-ng" and so debrelease presumably needs updating at least in the man page.

Secondly both rival packages provide "dcut" but neither provide bash completion, although WE do! That looks like a mess though I am not sure that the onus is on devscripts to clean that one up.
