Hi, it's me again.
A user of the swig package asked why -help outputs to stderr, as the=20
usage information is the correct output of that operation and not really
an error. I think it should go to stdout... See also:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=3D285038
Suggested trivial patch attached.
Greetings
Torsten
