The hier(7) man page is incomplete

[Brian Beck]

Binary package hint: manpages

The hier(7) man page does not contain all root directories that are default on ubuntu systems. This makes the help less useful. It is missing...

/initrd
/lost+found
/media
/srv
/sys

I notice that /media and /srv are described in a later fhs (2.3). (http://www.pathname.com/fhs/) However, I don't see the other three missing directories.

There are, I think, two reasonable solutions.
1. Rewrite the hier man page to be ubuntu specific.
2. Update the hier man page to conform with version 2.3 with the addition of the directories that are ubuntu specific.

Thanks.

I can confirm that those directories are still missing in hardy

I can confirm this on Oneiric, /initrd, /lost+found and sys are still missing.

Still an issue in raring, although some items like /media are present.
