Details:

Hello,

this was originally reported as https://bugs.debian.org/1003339 by Chris
Davies. He noted that the manpage says "Delete files;" but info has "Delete
files or directories".

Looking at both I found there are multiple differences with no good reason
(manpage is not more terse). I have tried to come up with a merged unified
version. - Patch attached.

cu Andreas
