It's used like undocumented(7), to provide something that packages can
link to in lieu of actually providing a real man page. If you do
something like:

  find /usr/share/man -lname ../man7/pam-undocumented.7.gz

... you'll see a list of man pages that link there. Of course, if you
can *write* a man page for any of those, the maintainers would probably
appreciate it. :)
