Package: partimage
Version: 0.6.8-1
Severity: normal

The manual for partimage(1) gives the following describtion for the
command line option -V:

-V vol, --volume vol
       Split image into multiple volumes files. vol will be the size
       in KB of volumes.

This does not reflect the actual behavior. It must be:

-V vol, --volume vol
       Split image into multiple volumes files. vol will be the size
       in MB of volumes.

This error is prone to baffle users following the manual but seeing
way to big chunks comming out.
