 In the --types option in the manpage, yes.  But there is a whole
paragraph about the iso9660 mount options in the manpage to be found in
all versions that I looked at?

 If you see a lack of information please file a bugreport about it -
potentially directly to upstream, but in Debian should be fine too
(though the maintainers would have to push it upstream then and it would
be nice if you could do that directly because it's not a Debian specific
problem).

 So long,
