1. This requires the access to the source package
   even if the binary package is installed correctly!

> We're not supposed to document the source code.  

2. It is not a documentation of the source code.

   It is the documentation of the essential aspect of the package!
   The presence of a boot image without the possibility to modify it
   is rather useless!

   Why is it a problem to mention the correct command?

        mkisofs \
                -b boot/grub/stage2_eltorito \
                -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \
                -o image.iso \
                -r srcdir
