Well, the roundabout 100 projects we have as upstreams in
manpages-l10n do this consistently, e.g. "man man" you can see that
those links are always:
B<name>(1)
Of course, if coreutils differs here, I will mark those "wontfix" and
won't bother you with them any more, of course.

Again, we see this in many man pages. Translators did not search for
all occurences, so there is no completness guarantee. Again, if you
decide to use a different convention, those will be FONTFIXE in the
future.
