Title:
  sha3sum and sha3-###sum binaries not working (--bits required for
  SHA3)

Status in rust-coreutils package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu 25.10, the binaries 
   - sha3sum
   - sha3-224sum
   - sha3-256sum
   - sha3-384sum
   - sha3-512sum
  are all failing with the error message 

    sha3sum: --bits required for SHA3

  or

    sha3-###sum: --bits required for SHA3

  respectively.

  Passing the parameter --bits does also not work:

  $ sha3sum --bits 256
  sha3sum: --bits required for SHA3


  $ sha3-256sum --bits 256
  error: unexpected argument '--bits' found

    tip: to pass '--bits' as a value, use '-- --bits'

  Usage: sha3-256sum-usage

  For more information, try '--help'.
