Title:
  usermod's man refers to --*-sub-uids but accepts only --*-subuids

Status in shadow package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The man page refers to sub-uids and sub-gids but those don't take any
  "-" between sub and [ug]ids. The help message conforms to what the
  command accepts though.

  $ man usermod | grep -F -- -sub
         -v, --add-sub-uids FIRST-LAST
         -V, --del-sub-uids FIRST-LAST
             This option may be specified multiple times to remove multiple ranges to a users account. When both --del-sub-uids and --add-sub-uids are specified remove of all subordinate uid ranges happens before any
         -w, --add-sub-gids FIRST-LAST
         -W, --del-sub-gids FIRST-LAST
             This option may be specified multiple times to remove multiple ranges to a users account. When both --del-sub-gids and --add-sub-gids are specified remove of all subordinate gid ranges happens before any

  $ usermod --help | grep -F -- -sub
    -v, --add-subuids FIRST-LAST  add range of subordinate uids
    -V, --del-subuids FIRST-LAST  remvoe range of subordinate uids
    -w, --add-subgids FIRST-LAST  add range of subordinate gids
    -W, --del-subgids FIRST-LAST  remvoe range of subordinate gids
