sudo oem-config prepare does a wrong thing

Bug Description

Binary package hint: oem-config

After doing an oem install, I logged in as oem and mistakenly typed
  sudo oem-config prepare
instead of
  sudo oem-config-prepare

This did a very strange thing: it brought up the GUI that you would normally see after the reboot but then halfway through this GUI it mysteriously vanished. It doesn't seem to have damaged the system though. Running the right rune fixed it.

oem-config should reject the improper argument (and it would be nice if it suggested the right rune).

oem-config (1.14) gutsy; urgency=low

  * Add an apport hook to attach /var/log/oem-config.log.
  * Strip binaries.
  * Print usage message and exit if any non-option arguments are supplied to
    oem-config; suggest oem-config-prepare (LP: #105940).
  * Update Japanese keyboard layout handling to match console-setup
    1.7ubuntu18, which uses jp(latin),jp by default (LP: #63915).
  * Teach oem-config-prepare to escalate privileges itself using gksudo,
    kdesu, etc. as appropriate, rather than requiring it to be invoked using
    sudo.
  * Add a desktop icon to the oem user's desktop to run oem-config-prepare
    (LP: #41698).
  * Display an error dialog and exit if running as non-root (LP: #99211).
  * Automatic update of included source packages: console-setup 1.15ubuntu1,
    localechooser 1.38ubuntu1, tzsetup 1:0.17, user-setup 1.14ubuntu1.
