The problem is that the add-applications section doesn't immediately
deal with repositories. It first deals with installation, and then deals
with repositories. So, having the "see <xref>" bit in brackets at the
end of the sentence is more accurate I think, because it is clearer that
the linked section gives the user information about both how to install
things, and how to add repositories. If I knew how to link to the
repository sub-section, I would say that we should do that, but, as far
as I can see, we can only link to the nearest whole section.
