Note that the Autoconf package doesn't currently use the correct
syntax to get install-info to read entries from autoconf.info, so
its current postinst is not a good test case.  Since it sounds
like you're going to get this fixed in dpkg soon, I will try to
also fix that in Autoconf soon (Depends: dpkg (>= 1.10), I
guess).
