Is this the new format/path of debugging pages for a given component 
how_to_debug_<component>_problem as opposed to 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Dracut/Debugging  or 
<component>/Debugging> and are we going to move all debugging pages 
under how_to_debug??

Who ever changed the original one should take the time and update 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Dracut/Options to current options listen 
in git logs or atleast the man page and remove all <pre> and {{admon}} 
to make it consistent with the new debugging page..
