[Bug 294504] [NEW] requestsync: always breaks to --help

[Martin-Éric Racine]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubuntu-dev-tools

Every time I try to run requestsync in Intrepid, it exits to the help
file, whether executed with only default arguments (package and  target)
or executed with additional options:

$ requestsync -d experimental xserver-xorg-video-geode jaunty
Usage: requestsync [-d distro|-h|-n|-k <keyid>|--lp] <source package> <target release> [basever]

In some cases, the base version (fork point from Debian) cannot be determined
automatically, and you'll get a complete Debian changelog. Specify the correct
base version of the package in Ubuntu.

Options:
	-d distro	override Debian distribution to sync from [unstable]
	-h		print this help
	-n		new source package (doesn't exist yet in Ubuntu)
	-k <keyid>	sign email with <keyid> (only used when submitting per email)
	--lp		use python-launchpad-bugs instead of email for bug submitting
