Hi Maintainer

Sometime around 2024-02-27, confget's autopkgtest regressed in testing
[1].  I've copied what I hope is the relevant part of the log below.

Regards
Graham

95s autopkgtest [19:08:12]: test feature-check: [-----------------------
95s error: unexpected argument '-q' found

95s autopkgtest [19:08:12]: test feature-check: -----------------------]

control: reassign -1 feature-check
control: retitle -1 feature-check: Rust: -O fails on values starting with dashes
control: affects -1 src:confget
control: tag -1 + upstream

Thanks, this was exactly what was needed to reveal the problem.
The Rust implementation of feature-check that I switched the Debian
package to recently uses the Clap library for command-line options
parsing, and apparently Clap needs one more flag to be explicitly set on
the definitions of optional arguments to allow their values to start
with dashes.

Thanks a lot for reporting this; it actually affects all my Clap-using
Rust command-line utilities! (come to think of it, that includes
the Rust implementation of confget itself, although the Debian package
does not install that yet)

G'luck,
Peter

control: found -1 2.1.0-1

G'luck,
