One way to do this would be to revise the man page exactly once at every Debian release, at the start of the soft freeze i.e. once the kernel version is decided, and to have a section where it says something like: ---------- BUGS The above options, values and meanings are correct as of Linux kernel 5.10, and may have changed since the previous major Linux kernel release. This might indeed mean that changes in the way the Linux kernel handles bridges have altered the way existing options are interpreted. Whenever in doubt, consult older versions of this manual page and compare their contents. ---------- This way, the manual page would at least be correct for the Debian release it comes with.
