This is not getting us ready for 3.0, it mostly fixes some of the obvious
errors in there that were correct for Subsurface 2.1 but clearly are no
longer true (like the suggestion to specifically check out libdivecomputer
0.2.0).

A bit of Subsurface history:
----------------------------
In fall of 2011, when a forced lull in kernel development gave him an
opportunity to start on a new endeavor, Linus Torvalds decided to tackle
his frustration with the lack of decent divelog software on Linux.
Subsurface is the result of the work of him and a team of developers since
then. It now supports Linux, Windows and MacOS and allows data import from
a large number of dive computers and several existing divelog programs. It
provides advanced visualization of the key information provided by a
modern dive computer and allows the user to track a wide variety of data
about their diving.
