Package: rsync
Version: 2.6.8-2
Severity: minor

Manual page reads:

  OPTIONS SUMMARY

       Here is a short summary of the options available in
       rsync. Please refer to the detailed description below for a
       complete description.

        -v, --verbose               increase verbosity
        -q, --quiet                 suppress non-error messages
        -c, --checksum              skip based on checksum, not mod-time & size
        -a, --archive               archive mode; same as -rlptgoD (no -H)


The problem is that browsing the listing to search for specific option
is difficult (option mention in script, web page, referred by in this
page....)

SUGGESTION

It would be better of the manual were organized to list the options in
alphabetical order.
