Package: pbzip2
Version: 1.1.6-1
Severity: minor
pbzip2 accepts --no-name option, undocumented in the man page. I guess
the page was copied from bzip2, which rejects the option.

pbzip2 does not explicitly support a "--no-name" option. It ignores
unsupported command line switches and if you do not supply it with a
filename to compress, it assumes you are providing it with data from
stdin. That is why it is not listed in the man page.
I'm not sure if this is actually a bug.

I'm clossing this bug accordingly.
