Package: octave3.2-info
Version: 3.2.4-11
Thanks for maintaining octave, it is a big job and it is great to have
in Debian.
Currently octave3.2-info
Depends: info (>= 3.22)
which is annoying if one reads info with emacs, and does not wish to
install that particular info browser.
A quick scan using
apt-cache show $(apt-cache -n search '^[a-z0-9-]*-info' | awk '{print $1}') | more
shows that this is the only package named *-info which actually
Depends on info alone. The gsl-doc-info package instead has
Suggests: info | info-browser
which seems like the most reasonable option to me.
Cheers,
--Barak.

Not possible, see
http://bugs.debian.org/543914
Maybe it is possible with some info readers out there, but right now I'm
not going to investigate which info readers implement which features.
