Hi Ben,

I'm interested in why you feel providing a man page that points users
to the preferred way to get the help for the tool is a bad thing?

I could auto-generate the man page from this help text, but that's
frankly more work than I am willing to put in. bzr provides a great
help system, which I plan to improve bzr-builddeb's use of soon, and
so I would prefer that users use that.

Thanks,

James
