Yes, I agree that cutting those, and using the original "see @ref{}", is what the Texinfo manual says is correct.  We should also cut this change:

(Setting Up the Daemon): use @xref to start sentence.

The original was also correct.

The only change that should remain is:

(Build Systems): capitalize "python" and start parenthesized reference with
@pxref.
