Bug#3125: bug (and correction) in dpkg-1.1.6 scripts/install-info.pl

[Kim-Minh Kaplan <kkaplan@cdf.in2p3.fr>]

Package: dpkg
I found a problem in dpkg-1.1.6/scripts/install-info.pl.  It shows
itself as creating a new section even if it is already present in the
dir file.  The line :

* Menu

is first stripped from the input, then it is searched for.  Here is
the correction I did to make it work :

diff -ruN dpkg-1.1.6.orig/scripts/install-info.pl
