Upon --help we see:
Use dpkg -b|--build|-c|--contents|-e|--control|-I|--info|-f|--field|
-x|--extract|-X|--vextract|--fsys-tarfile on archives (type dpkg-deb --help.)
this should be changed so it is clear if the whole 2 lines refer to
archives, or just the last item.
also we see what are apparently pairs of items, but separated with the
same "|" as if they were independent. Please pair them up better.

The purpose here is not to explain these options but to refer the
reader to "dpkg-deb --help" which does explain these options. There
the options are paired up.
