Thanks for the attempt. However, the man pages are autogenerated
from the --help output and from a tee.x template file, so you would have
to rework your patch to hit the upstream source of the manpage. Also,
the info pages tend to be more verbose about utilities; check that your
patch wouldn't be more appropriate there. And please wrap lines in the
patch, rather than letting the mailer wrap them and breaking the patch.
I will leave it to Jim, the actual maintainer, whether this patch is worth
applying even if these problems are addressed first.
