Some options mentioned in the documention does not work : it is not an issue, the index

pterm and command-line puttygen and pageant utilities are not described at all. The only
Unix-specific documentation that currently exists is the man pages".
The documentation is useless and deceptive, so could you please remove this
package ?
It's hardly as bad as you describe. Yes, the documentation says that
the only Unix-_specific_ documentation is the manual pages; but much of
PuTTY's functionality is common across platforms, and so the
documentation is far from useless even if it doesn't always go into
Unix-specific features.
