Thank you for your bug report, that seems rather an upstream issue than
an Ubuntu one though

Title:
  man page / usage string mismatch

Status in geoip package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  man geoiplookup offers:

      geoiplookup [-d directory] [-f filename] [-v] <ipaddress|hostname>

  The usage string from `geoiplookup -h` offers:

      geoiplookup [-h] [-?] [-d custom_dir] [-f custom_file] [-v] [-i]
  [-l] <ipaddress|hostname>

  
  The '-i' and '-l' parameters are missing from the man page.  The program itself does not have a '--help' to explain these parameters/options further.
