Package: gcc-doc
Version: 5:4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When I type "info gcc", rather than the GCC manual, I get a (really bad)
rendition of the gccgo manpage.

It seems that the symlink "/usr/share/info/gcc.info.gz ->
gcc-4.7.info.gz" is insufficient, probably because it still says this
near the top:

INFO-DIR-SECTION Software development
START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
* gcc-4.7: (gcc-4.7).                  The GNU Compiler Collection.
* g++-4.7: (gcc-4.7).                  The GNU C++ compiler.
END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY

Installing an info file generated from the following .texi file seems to
make it work:

\input texinfo
@setfilename gcc-dummy.info
@dircategory Software development
@direntry
* gcc: (gcc).                  The GNU Compiler Collection.
* g++: (gcc).                  The GNU C++ compiler.
@end direntry

@node Top
There's nothing to see here.  @xref{Top,,, gcc}.

It might be a good idea to extend this to the other info
documents/packages, too, though I don't imagine people try to read those
very often.

Thank you!

This should be fixed in the 5:6 upload [1].
