Michael Kerrisk 29af6f1a59 user_namespaces.7: Rework terminology describing ownership of nonuser namespaces
Prefer the word "owns" rather than "associated with" when
describing the relationship between user namespaces and non-user
namespaces. The existing text used a mix of the two terms, with
"associated with" being predominant, but to my ear, describing the
relationship as "ownership" is more comprehensible.

README

This package contains Linux man pages for sections 1 through 8.  Some
more information is given in the 'man-pages-x.y.Announce' file.

Installing and uninstalling
===========================
"make install" will copy these man pages to /usr/share/man/man[1-8].

To install to a path different from /usr, use
"make install prefix=/install/path".

"make remove" or "make uninstall" will remove any man page in this
distribution from its destination.  Use with caution, and remember to
use "prefix" if desired, as with the "install" target.

"make" or "make all" will perform "make uninstall" followed by "make
install".

Man page overlap and duplication
================================
Note that sometimes these pages are duplicates of pages also distributed
in other packages.  This has been reported about:
