Bug#147492: dpkg: install-info doesn't handle multiple info dir entries

[blp@cs.stanford.edu (Ben Pfaff)]

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.9.18

The GNU autoconf upstream package has multiple Info directory
entries listed in its Info file, like this:

    INFO-DIR-SECTION GNU admin
    START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
    * Autoconf: (autoconf).         Create source code configuration scripts
    END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY

    INFO-DIR-SECTION Individual utilities
    START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
    * autoscan: (autoconf)autoscan Invocation.
				    Semi-automatic `configure.ac' writing
    * ifnames: (autoconf)ifnames Invocation.
				    Listing the conditionals in source code
    * autoconf: (autoconf)autoconf Invocation.
				    How to create configuration scripts
    * autoreconf: (autoconf)autoreconf Invocation.
				    Remaking multiple `configure' scripts
    * configure: (autoconf)configure Invocation.
				    Configuring a package
    * config.status: (autoconf)config.status Invocation.
				    Recreating a configuration
    * testsuite: (autoconf)testsuite Invocation.
				    Running an Autotest test suite
    END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY

The install-info script ignores all of these after the first.
