Package: dput
Version: 0.9.2.20
Severity: minor

Hello,

I suggest the attached change to the manpage. Reasons: I did not found
the tool using "apropos commands". And I did not look for "Debian" or
"command" because of the number of false positives.

Second, the short description is just misleading. A non-developer would
not understand what it is good for: "upload command to Debian...
sounds good... queue? which queue? heh?"
