In exchange options are completely omitted from the output as well as deprecated or obscure commands. (Better) Information about them is available in the manpages anyway and the few options which were listed before were also the least interesting ones (-o -c -q and co are hardly of interest for someone totally new looking to find info by asking for help and anyone with a bit of experience doesn't need this short list. Those would need a list of options applying to the command they call, but they are too numerous and command specific to list them sanely in this context. 2015-11-04T17:04:04Z David Kalnischkies david@kalnischkies.de 2015-10-26T15:50:21Z urn:sha1:41d39345bdc31cb9b8be057cd678aa2890830437 Git-Dch: Ignore 2015-11-04T17:04:04Z David Kalnischkies david@kalnischkies.de 2015-10-26T10:42:32Z urn:sha1:6079b276a959086ff18302cab752b6d7cfe5ad9f Its not as simple as I initially thought to abstract this enough to make it globally usable, so lets not pollute global namespace with this for now.

This change there 'explodes' this single string into new string for each documented string trying hard to split up the translated messages as well. This actually restores many translations as previously adding a single command made all of the bug message fuzzy. The splitup also highlighted that its easy to forget a line, duplicate one and similar stuff.

Conceptionally we also need to know about which architecture we are talking and that is an information bound to a version (as a package can change architecture over time). We internally did this lookup from Pkg to Ver already, we just move this to a central place where the user has a change to influence it now. Git-Dch: Ignore
