See https://bugs.debian.org/1053602 , "harden-doc: low qualitiy of content",
Severity: serious, filed october 2023.
Increasing severity of that bug sounds good to me... (It would make sure
this won't be shipped with upcoming stable Debian release, and would help
removing https://www.debian.org/doc/user-manuals.en.html#securing . )
Thanks, Bye,
