Bug#488533: mdadm: Man page refers to kernel 2.6.20 in the future

[Jerry Quinn]

Package: mdadm
Version: 2.6.4-2
Severity: minor


The mdadm man page section on mdadm --incremental refers to a bug fix required
for kernels through 2.6.19.  It says that hopefully the bug will be fixed in
2.6.20.  I don't know if the bug was fixed, but we're at 2.6.25 now, so this
text should be update to say which kernel version the bug was actually fixed
in or updated to say that 2.6.25 still has the bug.
