Package: texinfo
Version: 4.7-2.2
Severity: normal
When texinfo encounters @xref{} when making a man page, it simply
writes nothing to the man page in at least some cases. For example,
wget's documentation contains:
----
For more information about security issues with Wget, @xref{Security
Considerations}.
----
... which is rendered into the man page as:
----
For more information about security issues with Wget,
----
... which is startling. Presumably there's something slightly more
sane that this could be rendered as (such as "see the full
documentation") even when no actual reference is possible.
