Bug Description

Description: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
Release: 16.04

scrub:
  Installed: 2.6.1-1
  Candidate: 2.6.1-1
  Version table:
 *** 2.6.1-1 500
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

scrub -X = scrub -Xr
The most recent version of scrub I can find that does not force --remove is 2.4.1.
At least since 2.5.2 this `scrub -X` defaults also to -r.
Since there is no option to negate the -r, I believe this is a bug. If, for some reason this is a desired feature (and it certainly is not desirable to me), then it should at least be documented in the man page.
Cheers
