I confirmed that this is a bug with the debian package (also exists in upstream’s debian package). “git lfs help” should work and does with upstream’s binaries. A bug happened to have been recently filed upstream at https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/issues/3043 <https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/issues/3043>. I am investigating this.
