As explained in Debian bug report: http://bugs.debian.org/247208. The
spline manpage in Plotutils 2.4.1 shows a wrong long option.
Attached is a patch that fixes the manpage and is currently used in
Debian.
You can also take this as an encouragement to make that new bugfix
release as promised here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2005-09/msg00062.html
If you do so please let me know so I can make sure all patches
currently used in Debian are integrated (where applicable).
Regards
Floris
