Well, the subsections also provides the name of the package where is FS
specific man page :-)

It's probably not so important (and I have no strong opinion about
it), but I can imagine that for end-users it's useful. Maybe we can
add to the man page a small table with FS name, man page and package
name:

      xfs   xfs(5)          xfsprogs
      ext4  ext4(5)         e2fsprogs
      cifs  mount.cifs(8)   cifs-utils
      ...

or is it overkill?
