Pacakage: at
Version: 2.8a-2

In atrun's manpage, the SYNOPSIS line reads:
    atrun [-l load_avg] [-d]

I believe it should read:
    atrun [[-l] load_avg] [-d]

I am using dpkg 1.0.3-0, kernel 1.2.13-4, and libc 4.6.27-6.

Thank you for the problem report you have sent regarding Debian GNU/Linux.
This is an automatically generated reply, to let you know your message has
been received.  It is being forwarded to the developers' mailing list for
their attention; they will reply in due course.

If you wish to submit further information on your problem, please send
it to debian-bugs@pixar.com, but please ensure that the Subject
line of your message starts with "Bug#1736" or "Re: Bug#1736" so that
we can identify it as relating to the same problem.

Please do not reply to the address at the top of this message,
unless you wish to report a problem with the bug-tracking system.

Your message didn't have a Package: line at the start (in the
pseudo-header following the real mail header), or didn't have a
psuedo-header at all.

This makes it much harder for us to categorise and deal with your
problem report; please ensure that you say which package(s) and
version(s) the problem is with next time.  Some time in the future the
problem reports system may start rejecting such messages.

Does this really strike you as a documentation rather than an
implementation bug ?  (I haven't checked yet whether I can see it in
the code.)

It seems to me that the correct thing to do here would be to change
the code so that the -l was required, like the manpage says.

I see that I'll have to modify the default crontab if I do this, as
I've taken advantage of this bug there.  Hmm.

Ian.
