Package: mdadm
Version: 3.2.5-5
Severity: minor


Hi.

/u/s/d/mdadm/md.txt.gz seems to be a tiny bit outdated.

As it's part from the kernel source Documentation, wouldn't either
of the following be possible?:
- On build of mdadm, extract it from the most recent linux-source-xx or
  linux-doc-xx package.
- Symlink to it (doesn't really work, as there is no path to the docs
  for the current kernel, even if linux-doc-xx is installed).
- just mention that it's found in the most recent linux-doc-xx package

Or,... drop that file alltogether... it doesn't really seem to contain
much info, that will be useful to the end user (of mdadm).
The only interesting thing seem to be the description of the /sys/ 
entries for MD... and for that a FAQ.txt entry, refering to the most
recent linux-doc-xx package my be the better solution.


Cheers,
Chris.
