Hi.

Regarding: /u/s/d/mdadm/md_superblock_formats.txt.gz

The new canonical location of that seems to be:
https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/RAID_superblock_formats
with the old location gone.

There seem to have been several updates/additions to that file, so a better way to keep
the file in debian up to date is needed, IMHO.



I propose this:
Remove the text file and use a HTML version.

>From time to time (on each update?) export this from the Wikipage which can be done
via the special URI:
https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/RAID_superblock_formats?action=render
(use the https version!)


I guess one should nevertheless look over the file whether any javascript or such
evil crap is included, that could be used for attacks when people open it in Debian.


Cheers,
Chris.
