Package: sbuild
Version: 0.88.3
Severity: minor

Hi,

sbuild's README.Debian dates back to 2006 and mentions features that
will be removed with the release of Lenny. I don't know how many people
will continue reading after this.

The manual pages look like they have been touched since their last
copyright date which also dates back to the 2000-and-zero years, but
they also mention Debian releases that have been archived for years. And
they are not quite helpful with the more modern features such as
unshare.

I understand that sbuild is a tool that is mainly used by experts that
don't need proper docs, but I have for example avoided sbuild for more
than a decade because I never took the time to find out which of the
external docs that are available might be more helpful than the docs
that come with the package.

Greetings
Marc
