checkbashisms consider that command can only take the -p option:

| $ echo -e '#!/bin/sh\ncommand -v ls' > posix.sh
| $ checkbashisms posix.sh
| possible bashism in posix.sh line 2 ('command' with option other than -p):
| command -v ls
| $

This is not true according to POSIX specification [1], -v and -V shall
also be accepted. They are accepted in practice by both dash and bash.

--- /etc/devscripts.conf ---

This is a somewhat interesting case. The link above is for the Base
Specifications Issue 7, which is IEEE 1003.1 2013. Policy specifically
refers to IEEE 1003.1 2004, aka Issue 6, where -v and -V are listed as
User Portability Utilities extensions and therefore not required to be
supported.

POSIX permits the -v/-V options:

command [-p][-v|-V] command_name
