Well, it's not a bug per se, but I really think that the capture syntax
manpage should be part of libpcap and not of tcpdump. I know of a few
systems that have wireshark installed but not tcpdump. Also, it is
possible to build tcpdump with older versions of libpcap where the
capture syntax might be different.

Would a patch to move the capture syntax into its own manpage and into
the libpcap package be acceptable? If so, I'm willing to produce one.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
