 In EXAMPLES section, probably fdescfs(5) is the only one that says 
 "null" for the pseudo device, e.g.,
 
 devfs(5):	mount -t devfs devfs /dev
 linprocfs(5):	mount -t linprocfs linproc /compat/linux/proc
 linsysfs(5):	mount -t linsysfs linsys /compat/linux/sys
 procfs(5):	mount -t procfs proc /proc
 
 In fact, it may be more confusing for nullfs users.
 
 In SYSNOPSIS section, actually fdescfs(5) says:
 
 	fdescfs /dev/fd fdescfs rw 0 0
 
 Many manual pages for pseudo file systems have similar SYNOPSIS, e.g.,
 
 devfs(5):	devfs	/dev	devfs	rw 0 0
 linprocfs(5):	linproc	/compat/linux/proc linprocfs	rw 0 0
 linsysfs(5)L	linsys	/compat/linux/sys linsysfs	rw 0 0
 procfs(5):	proc	/proc	procfs	rw 0 0
 
 Therefore, I see no reason to change the package message only because 
 the manual page says so.  In fact, I think we should fix manual pages 
 to be more consistent.
