Package: procps
Version: 1:3.2.8-10
Severity: minor
File: /bin/kill
In the kill man page is says;
KILL(1) Linux
User's Manual
KILL(1)
NAME
kill - send a signal to a process
SYNOPSIS
kill [ -signal | -s signal ] pid ...
kill [ -L | -V, --version ]
kill -l [ signal ]
However the options on the command line do not list kill -L as valid,
and it doesn't produce the expected table.
dmm@host:~$ kill
kill: usage: kill [-s sigspec | -n signum | -sigspec] pid | jobspec ... or kill
-l [sigspec]
Could either the binary or the manual page be changed for consistancy

That's the shell kill not the procps kill, try /bin/kill.
