Bug#687964: [dcmd] passes "--" to the command

[Jakub Wilk]

Package: devscripts
Version: 2.12.3
Severity: important
Usertags: serious

I had a script which did more or less this:

$ dcmd cp -v devscripts_2.12.3.dsc /another/dir
cp: cannot stat `-v': No such file or directory

As you can see, it no longer works. This is because dcmd passes "--" as 
the first argument to the command:

$ dcmd echo devscripts_2.12.3.dsc
-- devscripts_2.12.3.tar.gz devscripts_2.12.3.dsc

This behavior is undocumented and not backwards-compatible. Please 
revert this change.
