    We also have links to other manuals provided by other projects: Make,
    glibc, and Aspell, for example.  Manuals of other GNU projects do the
    same; e.g. the Texinfo manuals include references to Emacs.  There's
    nothing we can do about this; avoiding such links would make the
    manual less useful.

We might be able to improve what happens when you follow a link to a
manual that is not installed.  At least on GNU/Linux.  Maybe the
attempt to follow that link could cause the pertinent package to get
installed.
