Yes, I know it's not in the su source because I serached there too.
That's why I suspect it's a PAM thing. su does use PAM, right? Excuse me
for being dense, but you still haven't answered if you can reproduce the
help message. I still consider su's help message a bug. A tool that
prints "Use su --help for help" but doesn't support --help has a bug
that needs to be fixed. Please reopen the PR.
