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.
