Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu better.

I can confirm that the manpage for openssl 1.0.1f-1ubuntu11 on Ubuntu 15.04 doesn't mention -servername (http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/vivid/man1/openssl.1ssl.html)

Changed in openssl (Ubuntu):
status: New → Confirmed
tags: added: manpage trusty vivid
summary: - Options not described on manpage
+ Option -servername not described in manpage

Thank you for the fix.

Just for the completeness, the manpage for s_client does not mention some other options too, which the command itself reports in its usage message eg. -srp* and -keymatexport*. These seem to be missing in upstream man pages as well (https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.0.1/apps/s_client.html).

I did not write the fix, but you should be checking the 1.0.2 manpages, not the 1.0.1 manpages.
