Package: bsdmainutils
Version: 9.0.10
Severity: normal

In versions up through Jessie, `cal` supported a `-h` option to turn
off highlighting of the current day.

In Stretch, `cal -h` results in a help message.

Because there are likely many scripts that depend on `-h` to suppress
highlighting, removal of this longstanding option should not be done
lightly.

If it is to be removed, another method of suppressing highlighting
should be made available.
