You mean, the emacs manual should link to the debbugs user manual?  Is
that even possible given that this might not be installed?

debbugs.el already adds an entry to `browse-url-default-handlers' for
this purpose.  So is `debbugs-browse-mode' just a crutch for "older"
emacsen (where "older" means "released")?

In any case, feel free to enhance/extend the documentation.  I'm also
planning to extend it a bit with respect to the auto-setup feature but
haven't had the time to do so yet (hopefully weekend).

Bye,
