If there's no clear mandate from the user base generally, I would say it's better not to change the functionality, but instead change the documentation to describe more accurately what the program does. Thoughts?

I am (as yet) undecided on whether it's better to fix the documentation here, or enhance the software.

This is <http://bugs.debian.org/397435>, it also applies to 4.3.x:

The docs say that find -ls behaves as ls -dils. This is not true:

$ find /dev/hda -ls
1629 0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk Nov 7 12:23 /dev/hda
$ ls -dils /dev/hda
1629 0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 0 Nov 7 12:23 /dev/hda
$

Find should print the device numbers for device nodes.
