Not to rehash an old wontfix :-), but since you ask... Only a minor comment, that help2man could be a bit more flexible about e.g. accepting input on stderr. See the discussion on #138752. I'm not sure how many packages fail to follow "the GNU standards document" in terms of how they print their help output, but it seems like a potential source of irritation. Of course, if I'm missing something about Debian policy, consider me shushed. d -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
