We have pulled this out of the rhsm-debug tool altogether.

The SOS folks didn't seem to want it anyway and most of the information is available from the pool data.

It will be hidded from the help listing, but the parameters will still exist. If they are called, a log message will conver that they have been disabled.

commit 6bd472d13d88934e3a3069862e26f9e7e27bec8c

    1246680: Remove subscriptions from rhsm-debug
    
    Older Candlepins don't have the call.
    Candlepin 2.0 will not return subscriptions for less than the super admin level.
    In the Candlepins where it is allowed, the default is no-subscriptions because the SOS report folks didn't really care to have them.
    
    In the end, most of the data can be gleaned from the pool listing.



commit 89b3ef311a7348936448f9ef949d9e5dbe071326

    1246680: Hide rhsm-debug --subscriptions options
    
    And disconnect them from anything aside from a log
    message that they no longer do anything. This avoids
    breaking any scripts that specify --subscriptions, and
    doesn't change any behaviour against most server versions.

I am not seeing the subscriptions.json report from rhsm-debug system --subscriptions

Also, there is no longer a --subscriptions option from the rhsm-debug options and the rhsm.log file indicates the --subscription option does nothing now:

2015-09-29 15:37:53,949 [INFO] rhsm-debug:19766 @debug_commands.py:98 - The rhsm-debug options '--subscriptions' and '--no-subscriptions' have no effect now.

As indicated in the commits of comment 2, the decision to solve this bug was to actually remove all traces of the --subscriptions and --no-subscriptions options from rhsm-debug system.
