Bug#241814: totem: man page is useless

Package: totem
Version: 0.99.9-5
Severity: normal

The totem(1) man page is useless.  The SYNOPSIS section is
innacurate.  The OPTIONS section documents precisely zero of
the program's 38 command line arguments.  The SEE ALSO
section does not mention the manual available by selecting
totem's "Help/Contents" menu option.

The current man page is worse than having none, as it
prevents automated searches for commands that need to have
manpages written from finding totem.
