RHEL rear package includes a copy of the user guide as /usr/share/doc/rear/relax-and-recover-user-guide.html . The section 6. Layout configuration in particular needs improvements. The examples are out of date with respect to the layout file that ReaR actually produces (note the spaces after # for example), it mentions variables EXCLUDE_BACKUP and EXCLUDE_RESTORE that are irrelevant to the section, the EXCLUDE_RECREATE variable syntax is not properly described and the examples show how to exclude /media/backup which does not make sense as everything under /media is excluded by default.

These issues are addressed in upstream PR 3125, which we need to apply.

Notes for testing:
Ensure that the content of /usr/share/doc/rear/relax-and-recover-user-guide.html#_layout_configuration matches the current upstream version, in particular:

• EXCLUDE_BACKUP and EXCLUDE_RESTORE are not mentioned
• /media/backup is not mentioned
• layout file examples do not have "# " (space after the comment character) in comments
• EXCLUDE_RECREATE is described (the "A generic mechanism for doing this is the EXCLUDE_RECREATE variable." paragraph).
