Bug#49395: dpkg: -X user error reports about --vextract

[Julian Gilbey <J.D.Gilbey@qmw.ac.uk>]

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.4.1.19

It would be nice if the error message better matched the command in
the following situation:

polya:~ $ dpkg -X /var/cache/apt/archives/passwd_19990827-8_i386.deb 
dpkg-deb: --vextract needs a target directory.
Perhaps you should be using dpkg --install ?
polya:~ $
