Re: Bug#528892: please add info-dir-section to your info files
Hi!
Just in case this was not clear from the bug report, and as exmplained
on bug 528877, for now the info files should just get the missing info
dir entry added. Once the new install-info and dpkg packages have
migrated to testing maintainers should be able to start dropping the
direct calls to install-info.

Yes, most of the plan has been drafted with the idea of inflicting
minimal disruption.

The info files are not usually ‘readable’ w/o an info-reader. The new
info-reader Providing packages will Depend on the install-info package,
so they will get a generated dir when installed. And the first dpkg
version to stop shipping the real install-info will Break all old
info-readers versions not Depending on the install-info package. Does
this resolve your concerns?
