tag 352325 upstream thanks Hello,
this is an upstream bug, and I suggest you to discuss this on [EMAIL PROTECTED] I kinda doubt that such an option renaming for cosmetics issue will be accepted upstream, and there is no way that the debian version presents different usage from upstream. The presentation part of your suggestion has good chance of getting accepted, but if you don't provide a patch for it, I'm not sure it will get fixed anytime soon. Again, that's an upstream issue. Thanks for your time, Mt. PS: I have very little free time nowadays, which explains why I leave a few days between the handling of each bug.
