The override was copied over from proxmox-backup.

[Lukas Wagner]

Mostly to silence the lintian warning complaining about the missing

[Shannon Sterz]

not sure how this happened, but: proxmox-b4 wasn't too happy about the
"PATH" typo in the subject here :P

other then the comments for patch 4/4 everything worked as intended,
consider the first three patches:

nit: i know this is pre-existing but "This tool will help you detect" would
be a bit cleaner imo.

nit: and misconfiguration*s*

nit: maybe "you have to be careful when making sure that..." might parse
a bit more easily

but none of these are real blockers and should probably then also apply
to pbs (and maybe pve, did not check there).
