After some digging, I think the full sentences are 

  - By default executables should not be built with the debugging
    option -g. Instead, it is recommended to support building the
    package with debugging information optionally.  Details in [10.1]

  - The system-wide mail directory is now /var/mail, no longer
    /var/spool/mail.  Any packages accessing the mail spool should
    access it via /var/mail and include a suitable Depends field;
    details in [11.6]

So "details in" is a left-over from the conversion to HTML: 
the reerence [10.1] is now at the head of the paragraph instead of
the end.

I will fix it. Thanks for noticing it.
