I can put together a manpage patch if you'd like, but I suspect you'd rather I leave it in your capable hands.

I'd very much appreciate if you'd create a patch and submit it upstream (Stephen Hemminger <[email protected]> and the netdev mailing list) There are many other issues with the man pages and help output that you are more then willing to help dig into if you have time. Please see http://bugs.debian.org/src:iproute for hints on where documentation updates are needed.
Alrightie, I did just that.
I'm in no position to write a full ip-l2tp(8) man page. I have, however:
* synced SYNOPSIS up with current "ip help" entries
* made SYNOPSIS conform to "ip help"'s ordering
* synced SYNTAX up with SYNOPSIS, pulling definitions for netns and ntable out from beyond the realms of my ass. please verify.
* alphabetized the SYNTAX entries
* synced SEE ALSO up with current "dpkg -L iproute | grep 8/ip-"
Attached and inline.
