Package: dpkg
Version: 1.21.22
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

"man dpkg" says:

  DPKG_ROOT
      [...] When installing packages into a different instdir, dpkg
      normally invokes maintainer scripts using chroot(2) and leaves
      this variable empty, but if --force-script-chrootless is specified
      then the chroot(2) call is skipped and instdir is non-empty.

The above would make more sense to me if the "instdir" reference in the
last line was "DPKG_ROOT", so I suspect a typo here.  Please fix the
documentation or my confusion.

Feri.
