Package: dpkg
Version: 1.10.10
Severity: minor

$ dpkg --help

this section looks good:
Usage:
  dpkg -i|--install      <.deb file name> ... | -R|--recursive <dir> ...
  dpkg --unpack          <.deb file name> ... | -R|--recursive <dir> ...

but this:
Use dpkg -b|--build|-c|--contents|-e|--control|-I|--info|-f|--field|
 -x|--extract|-X|--vextract|--fsys-tarfile  on archives (type dpkg-deb --help.)

1. lacks the level of detail of the first section. It is all bunched
   together.

2. looks weird with the "Use" at the beginning, etc.  We elementary users
   won't be catching the drift.

It is the verb in the sentence: 'Use X on archives'.

For detail, run "dpkg-deb --help".
