There doesn't seem to be an online HTML version of this manual, so the

It works when using 'info', provided the 'emacs-debbugs' package is

link to patch it. But just now a search gave me

This doesn't look like an 'official' doc to me, but if we'd like to use
it, we'd have to tune the doc/htmlxref.cnf file content. Would you like
to give it a try?
