Public bug reported:

This new bug reporting process is very confusing to me, so apologies if
I just filed something useless. All I wanted to do was simply state an
inaccuracy in the manpage of kill. It describes the argument --list for
listing available signals, which does not work:

 $ kill --list
 kill: unknown signal: SIG-LIST
 kill: type kill -l for a list of signals

`kill -l` does work correctly. This bug does not seem to exist in
upstream util-linux, so perhaps the version in Ubuntu 14.04 is just
lagging a little. Let me know if more information is required.
