Firstly: thanks to Ben for the help/fix.
I know nobody asked, but.
Having to guess where the documentation is just to refer to it is
just going to be really brittle going forward. Previous: if the
function you referred to existed in the package you were fine.
That's not correct. The system could often work around the error, but
not always.
I may be missing something. It may well be that referring to a
cross-package link by alias rather than by the name of the Rd page
actually never worked, but: would there be a big barrier to making
cross-package documentation links be able to follow aliases? I can
imagine there may be technical hurdles but it seems like a well-defined
problem ...

Future: if don't correctly specify where the help is you are wrong.
Going forward: reorganizing a package's help can break referring
packages. This sort of brittleness is going to be a big time-waster
going forward. It seems like really the wrong direction in packaging,
isolation, and separation of concerns (SOLID style principles).

This might have to be \link[utils:debugger]{dump.frames} now, i.e.
explicitly linking to the man page on which dump.frames is found

Is that not the right form? Is there any way to fix this other than
the workaround of just removing links from the documentation? I
kind of don't want to do that as the links were there to help the
user.
