Package: netpbm Version: 2:10.0-12 Severity: normal The option is actually '-minneighbor' in the source. Ironically since pbmclean supports abbreviated options omitting any positive number of letters off the end of the suggested '-minneighbors' works.
The man page also says the -N form was removed in December 2001 when it's actually still there. Here's a patch to the man page to fix these mistakes and clarify it a bit.
