Bug#356704: gpm: Non stnadard option (-v) would better be used for "verbose"

[Jari Aalto]

Package: gpm
Version: 1.19.6-22
Severity: minor

Manual page reads:

       -v     Print version information and exit.

       -Vverbosity increment

              Raise or decrease the maximum level of messages that
              will be logged.  Thus a positive argument has the effect
              of making the program more verbose.  One can also give a
              negative argument to hush the program; however, note
              that due to getopt(3) rules a

Please consider chnaging this to comply the de facto option naming,
where option -v is commonly known as "--verbose" option.

It is also common to increase verbose level with multiple of v's, like

	-v -v -v	OR -vvv

The version option wuld better be moved to:

	-V 		OR --version
