Bug Description
Binary package hint: bzip2
lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
Release: 10.04

Run bzip2 with any option to print to the console. For example: "bzip2 --version" or "bzip2 --help". Redirect stdout to /dev/null, or use strace to see which file descriptor is being written to.
Expected result:
bzip2 prints to stdout.
Actual result:
bzip2 prints to stderr.
These compression utilities behave as expected:
gzip
lzma
lzip
xz
rzip
lzop
