I think the trick to pull is to send a bug report to Debian.

PS: although I'd agree that the node name should not be hard-coded
    as "emacs" all over the place but kept in a defconst.  Purely
    for programming style reasons.  But since this doesn't work for @xref,
    it still deserves a bug-report to Debian.
