Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdebase

On help:/kdesu/using-kdesu.html one can read that
the -d 'Show debug information'.

But in kdesu --help and man kdesu we get that -d:
'Do not show the command to be run in the dialog'

I say that the second information is better, and shoud
go to using-kdesu.html

I am using feisty.

I agree with you, but this seems a documentation problem in KDE.
