I tried following nacc's suggestions (he brought it over IRC) because I,
unkowningly, did a really terrible job last time.
Hopefully, this commit is way more understandable and (again,
hopefully), I did everything well.
Please share if you see something I missed.
Thanks!

Title:
usermod's man refers to --*-sub-uids but accepts only --*-subuids
Status in shadow package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
The man page refers to sub-uids and sub-gids but those don't take any
"-" between sub and [ug]ids. The help message conforms to what the
command accepts though.
$ man usermod | grep -F -- -sub
-v, --add-sub-uids FIRST-LAST
-V, --del-sub-uids FIRST-LAST
This option may be specified multiple times to remove multiple ranges to a users account. When both --del-sub-uids and --add-sub-uids are specified remove of all subordinate uid ranges happens before any
-w, --add-sub-gids FIRST-LAST
-W, --del-sub-gids FIRST-LAST
This option may be specified multiple times to remove multiple ranges to a users account. When both --del-sub-gids and --add-sub-gids are specified remove of all subordinate gid ranges happens before any
$ usermod --help | grep -F -- -sub
-v, --add-subuids FIRST-LAST add range of subordinate uids
-V, --del-subuids FIRST-LAST remvoe range of subordinate uids
-w, --add-subgids FIRST-LAST add range of subordinate gids
-W, --del-subgids FIRST-LAST remvoe range of subordinate gids
