Thanks for the report.  I've fixed that.
In the next release --help output will look like this:

  Usage: ./unexpand [OPTION]... [FILE]...
  Convert spaces in each FILE to tabs, writing to standard output.
  With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.

  Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
    -a, --all        convert all whitespace, instead of just initial whitespace
        --first-only convert only leading sequences of whitespace (overrides -a)
    -t, --tabs=N     have tabs N characters apart instead of 8 (enables -a)
    -t, --tabs=LIST  use comma separated LIST of tab positions (enables -a)
        --help     display this help and exit
        --version  output version information and exit
