If asking to report raw values, I think one would expect the raw value reported to be displayed, whichever unit that happens to be provided in, with no conversion. "Raw" to me means (amongst other things) "no conversion".

So it seems to me that -u and -f should be mutually exclusive.

Presumably this should be sent upstream, assuming that it affects upstream. Perhaps they will update the manpage or make the options mutually exclusive. I don't think this issue warrants a delta in Ubuntu. I'm marking this Won't Fix for Ubuntu for now, to make it clear that I don't expect anything to happen in Ubuntu directly about this. We can change this if upstream agrees to commit some change here.

If sending upstream, please check if the manpage comes from all the way upstream or just Debian.
