Please unblock package pppoeconf
[ Reason ]
pppoe-discovery from the ppp package dropped the -A option in a recent
version. As the option had no function in old version, I dropped it from
the pppoeconf call to pppoe-discovery (#990978).
[ Impact ]
Without this change pppoeconf in bullseye is broken as it will not find
any modem.
[ Tests ]
I was able to reproduce the bug and also that it does not happen anymore
with the new version.
[ Risks ]
The patch only removes an old noop option in a shell script. I don't see
a risk.
[ Checklist ]
[X] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
[X] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[X] attach debdiff against the package in testing
[ Other info ]
I've added a patch with two typo fixes for the man page which I found in
the BTS.
