There must be a bug: I also get "you can use instead" when I do
(global-set-key (kbd "C-g") 'goto-line) after emacs -Q.

Better, but even with "[More info]" or "[More]", the lines may get too
long.
I think summarizing the problematic keys _at the very beginning_ of
the tutorial or in a splash screen at it's startup would be much
better than interrupting the tutorial text several times in the middle
of a sentence.
Suggestion: Let's keep the colors on the changed keys within the text,
but don't print the warning lines ("** ... **"). When the user clicks
on the colored keys, display the corresponding help buffer like we do
for on "[More information]" now.

I'll do so, but I think the current English version needs improvement
first.

I'm not sure. Please try: Enable CUA mode and try to read the French
or the Spanish tutorial.

>> Tapez C-v (Voir l'écran suivant) pour passer à l'écran suivant
** The key C-v has been rebound, but you can use <next> instead [More
information] **
(faites-le, pressez la touche CTRL tout en pressant la touche v).
À partir de maintenant, vous devrez le faire à chaque fois que
vous avez fini de lire l'écran.
Vous remarquerez qu'il y a un recouvrement de deux lignes lorsque l'on
passe d'un écran à un autre : cela permet une certaine continuité dans
la lecture du texte.
La première chose que vous devez savoir est comment vous déplacer à
travers le texte. Vous savez déjà comment avancer d'un écran avec
C-v. Pour revenir un écran en arrière, tapez M-v (pressez la touche
** The key M-v has been rebound, but you can use <prior> instead [More
information] **
META tout en appuyant sur v ou faites <ESC>v si vous n'avez pas de
touche META, EDIT ou ALT).
>> Faites M-v, puis C-v plusieurs fois.
** The key C-v has been rebound, but you can use <next> instead [More
information] **
Si votre terminal en dispose, vous pouvez également utiliser les
touches PgUp et PgDn pour monter ou descendre d'un écran, bien que les
combinaisons C-v et M-v soient plus efficaces.
** The key M-v has been rebound, but you can use <prior> instead [More
information] **
** The key C-v has been rebound, but you can use <next> instead [More
information] **
* RÉSUMÉ
--------
Les commandes suivantes servent à manipuler des écrans :
C-v Avance d'un écran
** The key C-v has been rebound, but you can use <next> instead [More
information] **
M-v Recule d'un écran
** The key M-v has been rebound, but you can use <prior> instead [More
information] **
C-l Efface l'écran et réaffiche tout le texte autour du
curseur, qui est placé au milieu de l'écran
(il s'agit de CTRL-L, pas de CTRL-1).
