Thanks for reporting.

I can confirm this issue with the manpage included in apport
2.17.2-0ubuntu1.1 on Ubuntu 15.04. Note that the manpage do mention
apport-cli under options, and it looks like ubuntu-bug accepts the same
options. These are documented in apport-cli, but this should be
clarified somehow for those reading the manpage.

Since ubuntu-bug is an alias for apport-bug, this might be a duplicate
of bug 1071930. It is at least a strongly related one.

** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed

** Tags added: bitesize manpage string-fix vivid

** Summary changed:

- documentation: omissions/inconsistencies 
+ documentation: omissions/inconsistencies regarding options in ubuntu-bug manpage

Title:
  documentation: omissions/inconsistencies regarding options in ubuntu-
  bug manpage

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  "man ubuntu-bug" doesn't contain any information about possible
  command line switches (like ubuntu-bug -w for finding the appropriate
  package by pointing at an open window) - one only can find those by
  invoking "ubuntu-bug --help"

  I expected to get a short help with --help but to get all pertinent
  switches via the man page
