package: busybox
version: 1:0.60.5-2.2
severity: minor

Could you please change --help to send it's output to stdout, instead of
stderr?  --help is a command, not an error, and as such, should not polute
stderr.

The same goes for all the applets.  At the very least, --help should probably
behave as the gnu it does for the gnu applet.

Hi,

At least the version in stable already does this:

busybox --help > /dev/null

I'm therefore closing this bug with the version present in stable.

cheers,
Thijs
