Bug#532137: /etc/init.d/gpm strace uses unsupported parameter -e

Package: gpm
Version: 1.20.4-3.2
Severity: normal

when starting /etc/init.d/gpm strace, gpm reports an error, because in the init script the parameter -e is hardcoded.
This parameter is not in the manpage and not in gpm -h, so I assume it does not exist
