    Hi Guillem,

    I think there's another report about "suboptimal option parsing"
    behavior, which I'll check later whether it makes sense to merge.

    oh.

    Otherwise you should use -Pprofile or --build-profiles=profile.

    Ah, hmm. I gathered the latter, but the former was somewhat
    unexpected, considering I mostly encounter utilities that
    use getopt(3) or ksh getopts which honour the POSIX utility
    syntax guidelines.

    Thanks,

    I tried to use build profiles for the first time today, and after
    running into trouble with pbuilder I tried to run it manually and
    found that even that doesn’t work:

    $ dpkg-buildpackage -P nocheck
    dpkg-buildpackage: error: unknown option or argument nocheck

    Use --help for program usage information.
