-    printf(_("  -g, --role=ROLE           new role will be a member of this role\n"));
+    printf(_("  -g, --in-role=ROLE        new role will be a member of this role\n"));
+    printf(_("  -G, --role=ROLE           this role will be a member of new role\n"));

Won't this make existing scripts to behave differently after an upgrade?  That
seems like something we should avoid at all costs.
