Bug Description

Binary package hint: clustalw

The debian provided man page, under the -help option, says:

Warning: the syntax of the options is the VMS one. For Unix, change the / to a - and type the option name in lower case.

but when you type clustalw -help it looks like some nice person already replaced the / characters with - characters.
