Here is the patch, quite longue because the file is renamed now that no
substitution is needed anymore.

+.TH AUTOMOUNT 8 "12 Apr 2006"
+.SH NAME
+automount \- manage autofs mount points
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBautomount\fP [\fIoptions\fP] [\fImaster_map\fP]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The \fBautomount\fP program is used to manage mount points for
+autofs, the inlined Linux automounter.  \fBautomount\fP works by
+reading the
+.nh
+.BR auto.master (8)
+.hy
+map and sets up mount points for each entry in the master map allowing
+them to be automatically mounted when accessed. The file systems are
+then automatically umounted after a period of inactivity.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.I "\-h, \-\-help"
+Print brief help on program usage.
+.TP
+.I "\-p, \-\-pid-file"
+Write the pid of the daemon to the specified file.
+.TP
+.I "\-t, \-\-timeout"
+Set the global minimum timeout, in seconds, until directories
+are unmounted. The default is 10 minutes. Setting the timeout
+to zero disables umounts completely.
+.TP
+.I "\-v, \-\-verbose"
+Enables logging of general status and progress messages for all
+autofs managed mounts.
+.TP
+.I "\-d, \-\-debug"
+Enables logging of general status and progress messages as well as
+debuging messages for all autofs managed mounts.
+.TP
+.I "\-Dvariable=value"
+Define a global macro substitution variable. Global definitions
+are over-ridden macro definitions of the same name specified in
+mount entries.
+.TP
+.I "\-V, \-\-version"
+Display the version number, then exit.
+.SH ARGUMENTS
+\fBautomount\fP takes one optional argument, the name of the master map to
+use.
+.TP
+\fBmaster_map\fP
+Location for autofs master map that defines autofs managed mount points
+and the mount maps they will use. The default is
+.nh
+\fBauto.master\fP.

+.RE
+.SH NOTES
+If the \fBautomount\fP daemon catches a USR1 signal, it will umount all
+currently unused autofs managed mounted file systems and continue running
+(forced expire).  If it catches the TERM signal it will umount
+all unused autofs managed mounted file systems and exit if there are
+no remaining busy file systems. If autofs has been compiled with the
+option to ignore busy mounts on exit it will exit leaving any busy
+mounts in place otherwise busy file systems will not be umounted
+and autofs will not exit.
+Alternatively, if autofs has been compiled with the option to enable
+forced shutdown then a USR2 signal to the daemon will cause all
+mounts to be umounted and any busy mounts to be forcibly umounted,
+including autofs mount point directories (summary execution). Note
+that the forced umount is an unlink operation and the actual umount
+will not happen in the kernel until active file handles are released.
+The daemon also responds to a HUP signal which triggers an update of
+the maps for each mount point.
+.P
+If any autofs mount point directories are busy when the daemon is sent
+an exit signal the daemon will not exit. The exception to this is
+if autofs has been built with configure options to either ignore busy
+mounts at exit or force umount at exit. If the ignore busy mounts at
+exit option is used the filesystems will be left in a catatonic
+(non-functional) state and can be manually umounted when they become
+unused. If the force umount at exit option is used the filesystems
+will be umounted but the mount will not be released by the kernel
+until they are no longer in use by the processes that held them busy.
+If automount managed filesystems are found mounted when autofs is
+started they will be recoverd unless they are no longer present in
+the map in which case they need to umounted manually.
