It might be worth a wishlist bug to install cd.1.gz as a symlink to ../man7/builtins.7.gz. By the way, at least on Debian, we are not quite POSIX conformant with respect to "cd" and similar non-special builtins. There should be a wrapper script on the $PATH so programs using the exec family of functions can use them (see XCU 1.6 "Built-in utilities").
