Bug#555028: /usr/share/man/man1/lft.1.gz: manpage says lft..

Package: traceroute
Version: 2.0.13-2
Severity: normal
File: /usr/share/man/man1/lft.1.gz

Thanks for fixing #554891.

The lft manpage now says that "lft is equivalent to traceroute -t".
However, lft actually means traceroute -T, which has an entirely
different meaning. Furthermore, lft does a lot of option translation
for compatibility with another program named "lft".

Perhaps the following text might work:

lft, the Layer Four Traceroute, performs a TCP traceroute, like
traceroute -T, but attempts to provide compatibility with the original
such implementation, also called "lft".

(You might also mention in the manpage that tcptraceroute is equivalent
to "traceroute -T".)

Thanks,
Josh Triplett
