I looked at the code, and I think that -u was lost accidentally. The
--url option is still supported, and I think that the -u option was just
missed when Edward rewrote the argument processing code. He kept around
single-character options in several other cases, including -o, -q, -v
and -h.
I think that -c was lost in the same way as -u, since it's still
documented in the manpage. I'm less sure about -n, since it's no
longer documented. However, I hope Edward will add it back in,
just for the sake of compatibility.
I submitted two patches upstream as a part of SF bug #1760001 (one for
-u and -c, another for -n) and I'll upload a new Debian package
containing my changes either today or tomorrow. If Edward disagrees,
I'll revert my change and upload manpage fixes instead.
