This gets way more confusing as both the manpage and the help command are... 
right? But in different ways.
For example, -a can be used both for the method AND the password for some 
reason:

root@q-test:~# net-snmp-create-v3-user -a authpsswd -X priv testuser1
adding the following line to /var/lib/snmp/snmpd.conf:
   createUser testuser1 MD5 "authpsswd" DES "priv"
adding the following line to /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf:
   rwuser testuser1
root@q-test:~# net-snmp-create-v3-user -a SHA -A authpsswd2 -X priv testuser2
adding the following line to /var/lib/snmp/snmpd.conf:
   createUser testuser2 SHA "authpsswd2" DES "priv"
adding the following line to /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf:
   rwuser testuser2

Same for -X/-x.

That said, the manpage needs to be updated to cover those cases, and
match --help, as --help has all the options.

This is already fixed upstream: 
https://github.com/net-snmp/net-snmp/blob/master/man/net-snmp-create-v3-user.1.def
in
https://github.com/net-snmp/net-snmp/commit/7d0da6c40db63611648115ad8dc4e5f00485ba1d

Not released yet though - there is a 'pre' tag after 5.9.4. It will
eventually be brought via debian, but it can be fixed in Ubuntu first
and the generated delta will disappear in future merges.
