Package: dl10n
Version: 3.00+nmu1
Severity: important
Tags: l10n

The docu about using "dl10n-check" is not complete and therefore "dl10n-check"
can not be used.

See the following example and have a look to the second line starting with
"Syntax: ". There the placeholder "[action]" is shown. But there is no action
described in the rest of that usage output.

$ dl10n-check
dl10n-check: Nothing to do !
Syntax: /usr/bin/dl10n-check [action] [options] [--] [package|path to the
dist]+
General options:
    -h, --help                display short help text
    -v, --verbose             verbose messages

    -d, --debug               turn debug messages ON
    --print-version           print unadorned version number and exit

    -f, --force               force check even if packages are up-to-date in db
    --force-material          force check for any package containing material
    -u, --remove-unused       remove packages not found in Packages files
    --mark-obsolete           when extracting package data, add a .old suffix
                              instead of deleting old files

    --db=DB_FILE              use DB_FILE as database file

    --mandb=DB_FILE           use DB_FILE as database file for manpages
                                (instead of ./data/transmonitorman)
    --tmp=TMP_DIR             use TMP_DIR as temp dir
                                (instead of /tmp/dl10n)
                                (warning, the script do 'rm -rf' on this dir!)
    --po=PO_ROOT              where to store the po files
                                (instead of ./material/po)

    --man=DIR                 where to store the man files
