>Description:

The intro(1) manpage cross-references the intro(6) manpage and some
users will waste time determining the reason that there is no intro(6)
manpage, if they don't know that they didn't install it with the
"games" distribution during OS install.

>How-To-Repeat:
n/a

>Fix:
Either

1) Always install the intro(6) manpage after adding some words about
the likely reason for the absence of other section 6 manpages.

2) just remove the cross-reference.

If committers will commit to one solution, I'll do more work on this.

State-Changed-Why:  
Sorry, we don't support conditional xrefs (well, the ppp(8) manpage 
supports some conditional contents).  There are many things that can 
be switched off, but xrefs to them will still exist.  I don't think 
this is really an issue.
