Bug#493949: openmcu: badly muddled manpage

Package: openmcu
Version: 2.2.1-1

The manpage comes up with the following pearl:

       -p, --pid-file n

              Specify the name of the file that contains the PID when -d
              specified.  By default, openmcu automatically listens
              for incoming calls on all TCP/IP network interfaces
              available on the host machine.  This option is useful for
              running multiple copies of openmcu on the same multi-homed
              machine, or for ensuring that only calls from the
              external, or internal, network will be received on a
              particular handset.


This is clearly an unholy union of two paragraphs, or maybe even two
different programs.  It makes it impossible to know how to accomplish
the thing mentioned in the second half (bind to a specific net
interface).
