Comment:
I'm ok with keeping remove-destdir, but for the others it helps to have usage information as well as what the command does without having to read and understand code. Also helps with discoverability...

Closed issue by ericonr on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/29363

Description:
These commands aren't in the help output. They should be removed or documented:

- remove-destdir (seems to be the same as remove, so I'd consider removing)
- show-pkg-var-dump
- show-pkg-var
- dbulk-dump

Comment:
I don't think each of those commands need to be documented in the help/usage, its already pretty big and there is no point in knowing `dbulk-dump` from a users perspective who is not trying to build tooling around xbps-src.
Same goes for the `show-pkg-var` they do the same thing as `dbulk-dump` but with a "looser" output format.

`remove-destdir` looks like just an alias for `remove`, I don't see the harm in keeping it for compatibility.
