I just noticed that someone was so kind to put the X-Seq numbers for
my patches in the ChangeLog... thanks!

The `-A -*' doesn't mean that it complete ignores all unknown strings
starting with a hyphen, it just means that it doesn't stop completing
options if it finds undescribed `-foo's.

So, you still have to give it the `--{install,...}' to make it ignore
it. Or you use the `= ' trick together with the `::' trick, as in:

           '(-i)--install:*::Debian packages:= ->install' \

Then you can leave the other stuff alone (as long as you don't need to 
react to the presence/absence of options that might be before the
`--install', which, hm, I think you have (the exclusion lists), hm ...).

Bye
 Sven
