autofs-5.0.8 - fix variable substitution description
From: Ian Kent <ikent@redhat.com>
The desription about Variable substitution in autofs(5) says that
translation is done on the key and location fields which is not
correct.
Expecting to be able to receive a key from the kernel that
contains variables to be substituted doesn't make sense and
to be able to use map keys with substitution would mean a full
map scan for every lookup for all map sources. That is not
unacceptable for large maps.
