Package: manpages
Version: 1.70-1
Severity: normal

The initrd(4) manpage documents only the older, so-called "change_root"
method, and does not even mention "pivot_root". The "change_root" method
is considered to be obsolete (see Documentation/initrd.txt in the 2.4
or 2.6 kernel source tree).

Until complete rewrite, a notice saying 'the method documented there
is obsolete, see pivot_root(2)' and pointers to pivot_root(8) and
pivot_root(2) in 'SEE ALSO' would be useful, I suppose.
