i'm giving up, last mail on the subject from me. i explained the exact
same thing three times already, that got to be enough. :/

ftr: you said you're doing a derivative (in lb terms) for which you need
3.x, it only got revealed later that you're actually doing a
distribution (in lb terms) for which you don't necessarily need 3.x.

there are no existing features broken; there are no features modified in
their behaviour (except for syntax changes in config/*, but that surely
was not wat you ment).

(and no, --mirror-chroot and --mirror-debian-installer are usable the
same way, regardless if you use derivatives mode or not)

nothing is broken, the manpages are up2date.

man lb_config is only incomplete for the *new*/experimental features.
all existing features of 2.x are just fine in 3.x (with the exception of
#636217 [embedd syslinux configs] and #635046 [exp only, local hooks
don't get executed], but that's not what you're after).
