I would guess that the reason why there is no reference is that most
GNU/Linux distributions do not distribute this Info manual, or at least
they don'tt by default or with commonly installed packages.

It's also never available as a printed manual, AFAIK.

I have no opinion on adding such a reference now.  Eli, WDYT?
