-From: Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de>
-Subject: compat/getopt: Allow non-digit parameter embedded in short option
-
-The compatibility getopt script allows only digit parameters to be
-embedded in short options. Util-linux's getopt implementation does
-not have such a restriction and allows any parameter to be embedded
-in short options. As a consequence, using the compatibility getopt
-script would choke for example on "-pab", which is a legal option
-of the "quilt refresh" command.
-
-Remove the limitation on digits so that the compatibility getopt
-script allows what util-linux allows. This fixes the second half
-of bug #54772:
-https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?54772
-
-As a side note, this feature of the compatibility script was broken
-anyway, as it would output the digits in reverse order.

-From: Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de>
-Subject: compat/getopt: Handle a second separator
-
-getopt can be passed 2 '--' separators. The first one tells that
-getopt options are over and target program options start. The second
-one tells that the target program's options are over and following
-arguments should be treated as non-options even if they look like
-options.
-
-This second separator was not handled, causing the compatibility
-getopt script to treat the following arguments as options, eventually
-failing one way or another.
-
-Properly detect and handle the second separator. This fixes the first
-half of bug #54772:
-https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?54772
