You surely know... :) I only saw that bug report and found it weird that paclist displays a usage message if we pass no parameters but does nothing when it is invoked with "-h" (as opposed to all other contrib scripts).
Well my gut tells me "yes, we should do this". Take a look at scripts/Makefile.am, namely the first two lines- it would be nice if we could do this in contrib/ as well. I'll apply this; awaiting further patches for fixing the rest of the scripts and adding the above automake option. :) -Dan
