Package: jam
Version: 2.5rel-1
Severity: normal

The jam man page says several out of date things:

>       Jam/MR -- Make(1) Redux

and 

>        -d n      Enable cummulative debugging levels from 1 to n. Interesting  val-

where /usr/share/doc/jam/RELNOTES.gz says:

>	The whole /MR of Jam's name has been dropped.  It was intended

and

> 	-d has been reworked to make it easier to display more useful
> 	tracing information separate from the debugging gunk:
> 		-da - show all actions (formerly -d2)

(etc.)  I complain mostly because the man page led me to some
confusion about whether I'd actually gotten the new version installed
or not...
