    Hi,

    I'm creating a wrapper around dpkg-buildpackage that allows package builds to run in a docker container (https://github.com/aidan-gallagher/debpic).

    My package has tab completion for everything however when I added the option to specify dpkg-buildpackage options I realised dpkg-buildpackage doesn't have tab completion.

    I assume this is an easy task that is free for picking up?

    I'm creating a wrapper around dpkg-buildpackage that allows package
    builds to run in a docker container (https://github.com/aidan-gallagher/debpic).

    My package has tab completion for everything however when I added
    the option to specify dpkg-buildpackage options I realised
    dpkg-buildpackage doesn't have tab completion.

    I've been working on trying to first integrate the current bash
    completion support from the bash-completion upstream, but there are
    some compatibility issues that need to be fixed first:

    https://github.com/scop/bash-completion/issues/694
    https://github.com/guillemj/bash-completion/tree/pu/upstream-dpkg

    and here's the integration in dpkg itself:

    https://git.hadrons.org/cgit/debian/dpkg/dpkg.git/log/?h=pu/merge-bash-completions

    But then I don't think that would affect dpkg-buildpackage. So if you
    want to tackle that one, that would be great. I can probably split the
    build system support and merge that and leave the tricky parts of the
    hand over for later.

    If you are talking about zsh, that also works though! :)

    Thanks,
    Guillem
