Binary package hint: man-db

lsb-release: Description:	Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
                    Release:	10.04
src-pkg: mount
src-pkg-version: 2.17.2-0ubuntu1

explanation in the manpage of mount(8) is the following:
  Mount all filesystems (of the given types) mentioned in fstab.
I would propose to change it to 
  Mount all filesystems (of the given types) mentioned in fstab that should be mounted at boot.
To denote that some filesystems in fstab are not mounted with the -a flag (e.g. ones with the option noauto specified)
