It's in the vls package (though actually not very helpful).

Yes. This was fixed upstream.

This is not a bug. It's counter-intuitive at worst. --help-verbose is a 
merely modifier for --help. Hence the correct syntax is:

$ vlc --help-verbose --help

F for fullscreen, space for play/pause. I'm not sure for faster. We 
simply don't print the default value.

I don't think that can be called a bug.

There's no convention about -H being help. I have no problem with it 
displaying a larger help. I'd rather have -h for short help, and -H for 
long help, than both for short help, and never print the long version.

This a libhal error, and it has nothing to do with networking, and it's 
not generated by vlc.
