Despite the conkeror wrapper in Debian has some special handling if
and only if --help is the only option (it filters out iceweasel
options displayed by xulrunner which don't work in conkeror), I
disagree:
This is a very common behaviour, a lot of programs do so (e.g. try "ls
-ltr --help", "emacs -nw --help" or "vim -fgv --help") and I remember
that I also expected programs to show this behaviour, because I used
this feature out of lazyness to remove all options when reusing a
failed attempt to run a program from the shell history again but with
--help. :-)

Will do so.
