Package: dvd+rw-tools
Version: 7.1-14+b2
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

I was trying to find the documentation on the `-ssa` argument of the 
`dvd+rw-format` program. The corresponding man page do not mention it. 
It is also not mentioned in `/usr/share/doc/dvd+rw-tools/`, where some 
documentation is included from upstream in HTML format.

The homepage of this package at 
http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/ , where I found the 
documentation before, is no longer available. Fortunately, there is 
WebArchive...

Please, include the rest of the documentation into this package. I 
think, it is important to preserve it. The archived version of the 
missing documentation page is available on this link: 
https://web.archive.org/web/20240805233642/http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/Blu-ray/ 
.

Best regards,
Mykhailo Mishchenko
