Bug#405190: initramfs-tools: Optional [version] argument to mkinitramfs not documented in man page



Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.85e
Severity: normal

The [version] argument in the synopsis is not documented in
mkinitramfs's man page. I suggest something like:

version  the kernel version to make an initramfs image for (defaults to the running kernel)

just under the documentation for "-r root".
