Package: manpages
Version: 5.10-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream patch

The patch that implemented lockdown lifting via SysRq ended up getting
dropped[*] before the feature was merged upstream, but the man page still
describes it.

I've submitted a patch upstream which has been accepted by a comaintainer:
  
https://github.com/alejandro-colomar/man-pages/commit/09df87e9ee3e1a429a2c1709dfd16ec8ff0f616

IMHO, it would be good to see if we can include this in bullseye since
Secure Boot/lockdown is becoming more widely used.
