Package: pod2pdf
Version: 0.42-1
Severity: minor
Manual page reads:
perldoc -u File::Find | pod2pdf [options] >File-Find.pdf
Options
pod2pdf accepts the following command-line options:
"--output-file"
Sets the output filename for the generated PDF file. By
default pod2pdf will output to STDOUT.
"--page-size"
Sets the page size to be used in the PDF file, can be set
to any of the standard paper sizes (A4, A5, Letter,
etc). Defaults to A4.
...
Many of these options take arguments, but this isn't expressed in the
option syntax. The options are also presented inside quotes, which is
not typical to manual pages.
SUGGESTION
Please add arguments to the options, make the options appear inbold,
and remove the quoting. An example:
--output-file FILENAME
Sets the output FILENAME for the generated PDF file. By
default pod2pdf will output to STDOUT.
--page-size TYPE
Sets the page size TYPE to be used in the PDF file, can be set
to any of the standard paper sizes. The TYPE can be A4, A5, Letter,
etc. Default value is A4.

Hello,
I started adding those attributes, but while doing so I thought that
a) this is something for upstream, not for Debian
b) upstream might not like them, since the context kind of suggests this anyway
I would probably be prepared to add a patch that was prepared for me,
but I really suggest to go through upstream with this, or wait for what
upstream says to the patch.
Have many thanks for your report
Steffen
