Default dpkg --force-help does not mention breaks

The manpage of dpkg mentions the option --force-breaks in the section of
forcing options, but it is not listed in dpkg --force-help. Should it
be added for lenny, making all translations fuzzy? Or is it better left
alone, since no packages in lenny use the "Breaks:" field anyway?

If it is added now, maybe it is an option to unfuzzy (at least some)
translations by using the same description as for --auto-deconfigure,
since that option has the same effect as --force-breaks (CMIIW).

Regards,
Sven

Added this for lenny as well.

It does not have the same effect, but it's true that the the text fits
for the --force-breaks option and ideally the --auto-deconfigure option
could get a clarification. Used that text but did't unfuzzy, maybe I'll
do that in the next few days if no one else beats me to it.
