    I did a quick look at 'makewhatis' but did not see any specific way
    to be able to embed keywords in a manual page outside the NAME section.

    Certainly the manual reference 'SEE ALSO' section can be used to link
    multiple manual pages together if someone actually decides to write
    a 'securelevel' manual page, but barring that we are pretty much S.O.L.
    unless someone makes an addition to the (GNU) 'makewhatis'.
