Bug#542619: lintian: checks/infofiles shouldn't try to check usr/info/dir.gz as an info file and report it
Package: lintian
Version: 2.2.12
Severity: minor
Some makefiles call install-info which creates a usr/share/info/dir file.
This file is to be updated at package installation, so it shouldn't be
present in the binary package. Actually lintian reports it as an
info-document-missing-dir-section warning which is not relevant. A
dedicated message should say to remove that file.
