Could you enlighten me?
To give the user easy access to all parts of a document from each part of that same document. View it like an pop-up ToC. > If it is so nice, could you also explain why this option has been disabled when >generating online manuals on debian.org? First of all, debian.org runs potato and this <link> functionality has just been introduced. He, I didn't know this <link> stuff even existed until a few weeks ago! So, we're talking about "brand new stuff" here. Further, I don't think this <link> stuff should just be put in each and every document without some kind of overall plan. The fact that I added these <link>s by default initially was just part of the learning process. Finally, you should ask this question on the debian-doc mailing list. I would also suggest you write a proposal for using <link>s, gather some volunteers and start working on it.
