This is because this command ()without the quiting for better
diagnosis) doesn't succeed:
apt-get --print-uris --reinstall --force-yes install "systemd-sysv"
Actually, I'd consider dropping debget (or at least its
implementation) completely in favour of dget which does the same, but
* faster (pro),
* more reliable (pro),
* more featureful (also works with source packages),
* is written in Perl instead of /bin/sh (con), and
* is part of devscripts (con).
Actually I likely would have done that now if dget wouldn't be in
devscripts. But devscripts is a rather package-development centric
package while debian-goodies is a more admin-centric package. So I'm
not sure what's the best way to handle tools for both groups.
At least I'm cloning this bug-report accordingly.
Regards, Axel

Indeed, dget is OK. If you drop debget entirely (as a command name),
don't forget to update the other scripts that depend on it, such as
debman.

Perhaps devscripts could be split into a package-development centric
package and a more admin-centric package. Some other tools from
devscripts are not just used for package development, e.g.:
* bts, to update information in bug reports.
* rc-alert, to check for some security bugs (needs filtering).
* debuild, to rebuild a package (or perhaps its dependencies makes
this one too close to package development? I don't know.)

Subject: Bug#733471: Replace debget with the more reliable and faster dget
from devscripts
Date: Mon, 3 Feb 2014 12:27:38 +0100
Since wheezy, apt-get has a "download" subcommand.
How about reimplementing debget as a thin wrapper around "apt-get
download"? Or maybe debget should be removed completely.
