questions about install-info

[Dale Scheetz <dwarf@polaris.net>]

The glibc INSTALL file says:

   * GNU `texinfo' 3.11

     To correctly translate and install the Texinfo documentation you
     need this version of the `texinfo' package.  Earlier versions do
     not understand all the tags used in the document, and the
     installation mechanisms for the info files is not present or works
     differently.

     On some Debian Linux based systems the `install-info' program
     supplied with the system works differently from the one we expect.
     You must therefore run `make install' like this:

          make INSTALL_INFO=/path/to/GNU/install-info install



Install-info is part of dpkg (for some reason ;-) so, how hard is this to
fix?

Thanks,

Dwarf
