We'll improve on the documentation in one of the next versions, but
that will only happen with low priority. Current priority is getting
4.43 into sarge, which means syncinc 4.34 and 4.43 and then uploading
a 4.43 with minimal changes to the corresponding 4.34 version to ease
the release team's decision.

Greetings
