* utils/exportfs/exports.man: Emphasize the need for options to
immediately follow client names. Explain that wildcards don't
usually work on addresses, but may work when reverse DNS fails.
* utils/mountd/mountd.man, utils/rquotad/rquotad.man,
utils/statd/statd.man: Remove refs to non-existent "hosts_allow(5)".
* debian/changelog: Version 0.3.3-6.
