If you want, you can add a short sentence there about the issue, with
a cross-reference to where the issue is described in full.

This is how we organize our manuals: when some topic could be relevant
to more than one situation, we describe it in full in one place, and
have short references in all the others.

The index entries and the cross-references should solve this.  And the
issue _is_ related to edebug-save-windows and to the other similar
option described in the same node.  So having all of this info there
makes the description more comprehensive.
