Thomas, All,

On 2015-01-27 22:41 +0100, Thomas Petazzoni spake thusly:
> This commit updates the manual to:
> 
>  * Indicate the existence of the <pkg>-help target;
> 
>  * Remove the explanation about certain targets in "make help" not
>    being always visible, since this is no longer true.

That's unfortunate that we can see such help text even when the packag
