[Pbuilder-maint] Bug#446479: pbuilder: incoherence man page with --help

[david vernazobres]

Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.173
Severity: wishlist

The man page for pbuilder say 
  pbuilder --update 

the pbuilder --help say 
  pbuilder update

I know that both syntax are working. Is one of these syntax,
recommended?

Could you please clarify, which of those syntax is the preferred one ?
You may also consider putting a note in the man page about this.

Well, I should add that the question is related to the following thread
of the pkg-bioc project mailing-list :
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-bioc-devel/2007-October/000869.html

Thanks for your precision.
