Thanks, so now the mdoc(7) manual page in the mandoc package and the
groff_mdoc(7) manual page in the groff package point at each other.
I think that's good and may occasionally help users because different
people may like different styles of documentation and because some
particular details may be easier to understand in one page, some in
the other.

That's an mdoc(7) syntax error, .Xr requires two arguments.
I think this should be ".Xr mdoc 7".
