Additional info:
* cinnamon-settings-daemon 3.4.2-1


Steps to reproduce:

You can see this just by looking at the package's file list.

It was an upstream decision:
https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-settings-daemon/pull/162

You can find the individual binaries under /usr/lib/cinnamon-settings-daemon/csd-* which provides the same functionality.

The manpage shouldn't exist, actually, so here you go: https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-settings-daemon/issues/184
