Thanks for the detailed report.
I've fixed all of those that were still relevant to the upstream code.
2007-02-10 Jim Meyering <address@hidden>
Remove excess leading spaces that would make help2man misbehave.
* src/printf.c (usage): Remove excess spaces on 2nd line of %b desc.
* src/nl.c (usage): Remove excess spaces on 2nd line of pBRE desc.
* src/dd.c (usage): Remove excess spaces on 2nd line of sync desc.
* src/date.c (usage): Use two spaces after each optional flag, not one.
Reported by Thomas Huriaux in <http://bugs.debian.org/410407>.
* Makefile.maint (longopt_re): Relax the regexp, making square
brackets optional, so it matches the newly reported violations, too.
* src/csplit.c (usage): Use two spaces (not one) to separate
each option string from its description, so help2man formats
the derived man page properly. Reported by Thomas Huriaux in
<http://bugs.debian.org/410407>.
* src/df.c (usage): Likewise.
* src/du.c (usage): Likewise.
* src/install.c (usage): Likewise.
* src/ls.c (usage): Likewise.
