I wouldn't refer to the documentation there, yet, until the docs
include a passage to be specifically referenced.
Perhaps simply something like:
Be aware that .listing files created by arch are a convenience
feature for use with simple HTTP setups. Because of limitations
in how they can be implemented, users of .listing files may need
to run the `archive-fixup' command from time to time and
administrators of mission-critical systems should understand
the security and robustness issues of using them.
