Thanks for your work!

I think that there can be even more consistency:

$ grep ' version' kbd-documentation-consistency.patch | grep -v usage
+Prints the program's version number and exits.
+Prints version number and exits.
+prints its version number and exits.
+prints version and exits.
 Display a version number and exit.
+Display a version number and exit.
+Prints version and exists.
 the option \-V prints the program version number.
+       -V --version        display version\n\
+                 "   -V                   display program version\n"),
+                         "  -V --version       display version\n"),
+               "   -V     prints version and exits\n"
+                 " -V --version    Print version and exit.\n"
+"      -V --version    display version\n"
