Package: mount
Version: 2.13.1.1-1
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/share/man/man8/umount.8.gz

Manpage says:
       Giving the special device on which the file system lives may
       also work, but is obsolete, mainly because it will fail in case
       this device was mounted on more than one directory.

However, if one is root then instead of failing it will just unmount
the latest of those mounts, leaving the rest still mounted, without
printing any warning too!

Also please document:
Q: The darn device is mounted in 15 different
places, how do I unmount all of them easily?
A: # while umount DEVICE; do :; done #as root

Or add an option: umount --all-occurrences-of-this DEVICE
