Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek fdbbee37d5 man: drop unused <authorgroup> tags from man sources
Docbook styles required those to be present, even though the templates that we
use did not show those names anywhere. But something changed semi-recently (I
would suspect docbook templates, but there was only a minor version bump in
recent years, and the changelog does not suggest anything related), and builds
now work without those entries. Let's drop this dead weight.

Tested with F26-F29, debian unstable.

<title>Description</title>
<para><filename>systemd-gpt-auto-generator</filename> is a unit
generator that automatically discovers root,
<filename>/home</filename>, <filename>/srv</filename> and swap
partitions and creates mount and swap units for them, based on the
partition type GUIDs of GUID partition tables (GPT),
see <ulink url="http://www.uefi.org/specifications">UEFI Specification</ulink>, chapter 5.
It implements the <ulink
url="https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/DiscoverablePartitionsSpec/">Discoverable
Partitions Specification</ulink>. Note that this generator has no
effect on non-GPT systems, or where the directories under the
mount points are already non-empty. Also, on systems where the
units are explicitly configured (for example, listed in
<citerefentry
project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>fstab</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>),
the units this generator creates are overridden, but additional
implicit dependencies might be created.</para>
<para>This generator will only look for root partitions on the
same physical disk the EFI System Partition (ESP) is located on.
It will only look for the other partitions on the same physical
disk the root file system is located on. These partitions will not
be searched for on systems where the root file system is distributed
on multiple disks, for example via btrfs RAID.</para>
<para><filename>systemd-gpt-auto-generator</filename> is useful
for centralizing file system configuration in the partition table
and making configuration in <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> unnecessary.
</para>
<para>This generator looks for the partitions based on their
partition type GUID. The following partition type GUIDs are
identified:</para>

<para>The <filename>/home</filename> and <filename>/srv</filename>
partitions may be encrypted in LUKS format. In this case, a device
mapper device is set up under the names
<filename>/dev/mapper/home</filename> and
<filename>/dev/mapper/srv</filename>. Note that this might create
conflicts if the same partition is listed in
<filename>/etc/crypttab</filename> with a different device mapper
device name.</para>
<para>Mount and automount units for the EFI System Partition (ESP) are generated on EFI systems. The ESP is mounted
to <filename>/boot</filename>, unless a mount point directory <filename>/efi</filename> exists, in which case it is
mounted there. Since this generator creates an automount unit, the mount will only be activated on-demand, when
accessed. On systems where <filename>/boot</filename> (or <filename>/efi</filename> if it exists) is an explicitly
configured mount (for example, listed in <citerefentry
project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>fstab</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>) or where the
<filename>/boot</filename> (or <filename>/efi</filename>) mount point is non-empty, no mount units are
generated.</para>
<para>When using this generator in conjunction with btrfs file
systems, make sure to set the correct default subvolumes on them,
using <command>btrfs subvolume set-default</command>.</para>
