[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bug#1103347: Does not accept -name command line option

[martin f krafft]

Package: alacritty
Version: 0.15.1-2
Severity: normal

Unfortunately, Alacritty does not accept the `-name` command-line 
option, and instead spews and error message. This is a problem when 
it is used as a drop-in to `x-terminal-emulator`, which sometimes 
gets passed the `-name` option (supported by every other terminal 
emulator that I know).

```
albatross:~% x-terminal-emulator -name foo                                      #(pts/33) 16 17:06:53.105
error: unexpected argument '-n' found

Usage: x-terminal-emulator [OPTIONS] [COMMAND]

For more information, try '--help'.
```

It would be good enough IMHO to accept and ignore it. Unfortunately, 
upstream simply closed the issue wontfix without an explanation:
