Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

Being generally somewhat confused by the wording in the man page regarding the 
default value of -Xdict-size to XZ, I would like to suggest an edit to include 
this information.

Please change the wording according to your wishes, but this is the most 
pleasant way of wording it that I could come up with.

As per xz_wrapper.c:

    /* No -Xdict-size specified, use defaults */
            dictionary_size = block_size;

The reader might be confused whether using this option would do any good (as 
some have been) but effectively you cannot improve over the default option; 
this could also be explicitly stated.

Best wishes,

Dryden

-Use \fIDICT_SIZE\fR as the XZ dictionary size. The dictionary size can be

Never mind, I am going to stop submitting bugs to the Debian project, I
can no longer bear the mistreatment I get from Debian people.
