Package: debsums
Version: 3.0.2.1
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
The man debsums(1) man page says:
-g, --generate=[missing|all][,keep[,nocheck]]
...
keep Write the extracted/generated sums to
/var/lib/dpkg/info/package.md5sums.
However, if I try to use the "keep" option, debsums reports:
wraith:/tmp$ debsums --generate=all,keep,nocheck debsums_3.0.2.1_all.deb
debsums: the --generate=keep option has been removed and does nothing. at
/usr/bin/debsums line 847.
Since the option no longer does anything, it should either be removed
from the man page or documented as doing nothing.
