This is obviously a valid bug.
However, I don't think there is a good solution to this right now. The
page you are talking about is created from a page which exists in the
system help - in that system help, the link to the base-passwd page
works. I don't think there is an online version of this document, and
therefore we can't link to it. We can't add this document to
help.ubuntu.com because it comes from upstream and isn't included in
ubuntu-docs. We therefore can't add it to the automatic build system
that we have for producing the website.
Linking to the system file is probably a better solution than leaving a
dead link there. And removing links like this manually would result in
maintenance of help.ubuntu.com becoming overly burdensome, I think.
If you have any good ideas about how to fix this issue (perhaps there is
another document we could link to instead?), please post them here and
reopen the bug but for the time being I'm going to mark it as "won't
fix".
