Package: alien-arena
Version: 6.05-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
The wrapper script's help-text contains backslash-escaped characters which
do not get interpreted:
------ snip ------
$ alien-arena -h
Alien Arena client wrapper\nThis script is Debian specific, it is *NOT* part of the source distribution!\nUsage: alien-arena [OPTION] [PARAMETERS]...\n\n -h, --help\t\tDisplay this help\n -q, --quiet\t\tDisable console output\n [PARAMETERS]\tPass internal parameters to the client\n\nMore information on using this script can be found in the alien-arena(6) man page.\n

Solution:
Replace
echo ${USAGE}
with
echo -e ${USAGE}
