Dear Maintainer,

the bash completion for dpkg-deb with options -R, --raw-extract or
--vextract does not work. The handling for these options is missing
in /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/dpkg.

The attached patch works for me, but it's not extensively tested.
I had to split the function for dpkg and dpkg-deb as the usage of
parameter -R of dpkg and dpkg-deb is not compatible.

Regards

Uwe


PS: Is there a guideline in which order program options should be
    listed to ease maintenance? As they are not in alphabetical
    order I have used the order from 'dpkg-deb --help' as the 2nd
    best guess.
