Package: systemd-sysv
Version: 259-1
Severity: normal

The shutdown(8) man page contains obsolete information: wall(1) is
no longer used by this command:

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1087642#33

So the shutdown(8) man page should no longer reference wall(1) and
avoid to say "wall message".
