So what? Is that important? Documentation is there to help users, not
to care about layers.
I would have spared myself quite some work implementing such a feature
for one of my packages if dpkg-maintscript-helper(1) would have had
such a cross-reference to dh_installdeb(1), e.g. in the SEE ALSO
section (which never cared about any layers).
