-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I agree, there is no additional value to --help. I just recognized that there is no manpage when I tried to call "man codespell" and debian policy section 12.1 demands a manpage for every executable, so I thought this would be a quick fix.
However, I will discuss your suggestion with upstream.
