But there are other sources for the documentation.  It might be preferrable to 
use a local copy.  Furthermore I think it is fairly obvious that you can find 
documentation on the website.

The local copy is not necessarily installed and the locations differs
from Linux distribution to distribution.

It may be obvious to someone already familiar, but not if installing
postgreSQL the first time (via Linux package manager). While setting up
and configuring the hba_conf, the further documentation is almost
always needed.

A direct URL will help ´people to head for right direction.

Somebody who has found postgresql.conf in the first place has probably
already found the documentation, or at least is clueful enough to know
where to look.  I concur with Peter that this is not a helpful addition,
mainly because it might be an outright bad suggestion in some
environments.
