Well, the link here is, on a GNU system at least, the concatenation of
the name of the program with its section. Problem is, the program name
is not always the name of the man page. For instance, zsh uses ZSH as
program name.

In the GNU man point-of-view, I'm pretty sure this is not meant to be
a link but a reminder, so we should not use it as such.

The only « other » fix I see is to change this link (detected as the one
in the footer) to alway point to the current page. However, I don't see
the use.
