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.
