Page modification request: duplicity

Command description
The duplicity command-line backup tool's page exists, but is inaccurate.
It has an example of the duplicity restore subcommand with the non-existent --path-to-restore flag. The actual flag is --file-to-restore.
I use Duplicity version 0.8.22 packaged for Debian Bookworm. I confirmed that the upstream's current man page also has the same --file-to-restore flag, but not --path-to-restore.

I'd open a PR to fix this, but I have a problem with the CLA. From the inclusive language section:
"they" instead of "him"/"her"
It should be "them", not "they".
(I'm mostly kidding here. I didn't see any issue category that seemed appropriate for that. Thanks for trying to foster an inclusive environment.)
Hello @eliminmax! Thanks for opening the issue, I am the person responsible for the change in the page.
I believe such option may not exist because of a difference of versions. When I opened a pull request, the version I was using was 2.1.4 (#12057).
Furthermore, source code of duplicity explicitly states that the option --file-to-restore is deprecated.
I can create a pull request to attempt clarifying this discrepancy of options for users of older versions, what do you think?
If you think that's appropriate. I though I'd done my due diligence, making sure it wasn't because Debian was packaging an older version. It looks like I messed that up, and looked at an older man page, thinking it was up-to-date. My bad.

No problem 🙂, people's feedback is important to keep the pages in good shape.
If you find anything else or want to contribute, do not hesitate.
