Bug Description
[impact]
some systemd man pages refer to the wrong man section for some references
[test case]
e.g.
$ man systemd.network | grep systemd.syntax
A plain ini-style text file that encodes network configuration for matching network interfaces, used by systemd-
$ man 5 systemd.syntax
No manual entry for systemd.syntax in section 5
[regression potential]
any regression would possibly cause confusion by referencing the wrong man section, or possibly cause a build failure, or problem with various man pages for systemd
[scope]
this is needed for f/g
there is no systemd.syntax manpage in b or earlier
[original description]
In Ubuntu 20.04 LTS there is no systemd.syntax(5) it is actually systemd.syntax(7).
"See systemd.syntax(5) for a general description of the syntax."
