One thing undocumented(7) does is suggest some other ways to find
documentation. While this looses its attraction after a few viewings,
it can be very helpful for new users who aren't familiar with the
range of documentation formats used by Debian. It's also a lot
quicker than having man-db rebuild the index files only to tell you
it can't find anything.
