Title:
  systemd.unit(5)  incorrectly refers to systemd.syntax(5)

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in systemd source package in Focal:
  Fix Released
Status in systemd source package in Groovy:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [impact]

  some systemd man pages refer to the wrong man section for some
  references

  [test case]

  e.g.

  $ man systemd.network | grep systemd.syntax
         A plain ini-style text file that encodes network configuration for matching network interfaces, used by systemd-networkd(8). See systemd.syntax(5) for a general description of the syntax.

  $ man 5 systemd.syntax
  No manual entry for systemd.syntax in section 5

  [regression potential]

  any regression would possibly cause confusion by referencing the wrong
  man section, or possibly cause a build failure, or problem with
  various man pages for systemd

  [scope]

  this is needed for f/g

  there is no systemd.syntax manpage in b or earlier

  [original description]

  In Ubuntu 20.04 LTS there is no systemd.syntax(5) it is actually
  systemd.syntax(7).

  "See systemd.syntax(5) for a general description of the syntax."
