No, environ(7) documents the "char **environ" symbol that program can expect to find and that contain environment variables. That's not connected to environment(5) that describes a file format for a file that contains environment variables, e.g. are comments allowed. Other problems stated by this bug would also not be fixed by saying environ(7) is the solution, e.g. is /etc/environment owned by a package yet.
