Bug Description

In Jammy, Ubuntu has upgraded to a version of `scrot` affected by this bug:

https://github.com/resurrecting-open-source-projects/scrot/issues/178

The `-s` option is now treated as taking an argument, despite being a short option. This causes invocations like `scrot -sf` not to work, whereas in Impish and prior it was equivalent to `scrot -s -f`.

```
$ scrot -sf
scrot: option --select: Unknown value for suboption 'f'
```
