Correct Summary, which keeps making me think of Monty Python's last film.

Cf. Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/545807

Manual page reads:

       -w name
              Enable warning name.

       -W name
              disable warning name.

There is section `Transparent Options' abovem but it's quite long upward to be noticed on small displays, or 'grep -C 5' searches. The following patch proposes to refer to troff(1) directly within immediate the context.
