Does this content look good to be added to README.Debian ?

The initiatorname.iscsi file defines the iSCSI Qualified Name (IQN) of the iSCSI 
initiator. This IQN is used by the initiator to identify itself to the target.

Example: InitiatorName=iqn.1993-08.org.debian:01:lnx-debian

While this name can be adjusted to suit your needs, once set, it should not be 
changed. If you later change the InitiatorName, existing access control lists 
on the target may reject the initiator to log in. In case a name change is 
required, the access control lists on the target will need to be updated.

Regards,
Ritesh
