Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

Collecting information on SysRq.
Followed by trying to find information how to report issues with the documentation.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

For both tasks: stumble over broken links.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Working links.


https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-manual/restrict-sysrq.en.html has the following text:
»For more information, read security chapter in the Remote Serial Console HOWTO, Kernel SysRQ documentation. and the Magic_SysRq_key wikipedia entry.«
The link to the »Kernel SysRQ documentation« is broken and leads to
https://kernel.org/doc/Documentation/sysrq.txt
correct link would probably be
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/sysrq.html

https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-manual/changelog.en.html has the following text:
»You can download or view the latest version of the Securing Debian Manual from the Debian Documentation Project.«
The link to »Debian Documentation Project« leads to
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/ which shows »Page not found« and should maybe instead lead to
https://www.debian.org/doc/ddp.

It looks like there are possibly more broken links, among other to alioth.debian.org.
So generally it might be a good idea to regularly run a broken link checker over all docs.

Thanks!
