In the interim, are Debian version of man pages available elsewhere on the

Some will be different but most will be the same in the Ubuntu manual pages:

Thank you.
Comparing that link and manned.org hints a potential future (current actual ???) problem.

I needed the mount(8) man page.
I have Jessie (8.0.0) installed.
Both Debian Jessie and Ubuntu thru 14.04 LTS list many file system types for "--types". Both Ubuntu later than 15.10 and manned.org list fewer supported types.
[My type of interest is iso9660]

Seems to indicate that something has changed upstream. If it is only the documentation, how can this be flagged to Debian maintainers to prevent loss of valuable information.

If the underlying software is changing, that is a issue I'm not qualified to comment on.
