While trying to learn how to use Nuspell I noticed that it has no man page in
Debian (https://dyn.manpages.debian.org/jump?q=nuspell yields 'page not
found'). The README about the tool usage at
https://github.com/nuspell/nuspell/blob/master/README.md#using-the-command-
line-tool is only 4 lines long.

However, I did find
https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jammy/en/man1/nuspell.1.html. I don't now
where the source of that file is (wasn't able to find it on Launchpad).

I would like to suggest to have this man page source included as a patch in
Debian, and also upstreamed.

I am sure there are many more like me who are evaluating if they should migrate
from Hunspell to Nuspell and thus how exactly to do it, and how to use Nuspell.
That man page was very useful for me.

Thanks!

Nuspell used to have upstream man-page, but at some point the CLI tool got some
significant changes and simplification and along with that the man page got removed.
As stated in the readme you should use the --help CLI option right now.

Please do not do that as that old man page is not relevant for the new CLI tool. Feel free
to open upstream issue about the man page.

See above, use upstream issues on Github.
