That's about linking from base-files, I guess. For individual systems,
dpkg's postinst already does this, on the first try.

if [ -d /usr/info -a ! -L /usr/info -a ! -L /usr/info/dir ]; then
        echo Moving /usr/info/dir to /usr/share/info/dir.
        mv /usr/info/dir /usr/share/info/dir
        if [ -f /usr/info/dir.old ]; then
                mv /usr/info/dir.old /usr/share/info/dir.old
        fi
        if [ "`find /usr/info -empty`" = "/usr/info" ]; then
                echo Making /usr/info a symlink to /usr/share/info.
                rmdir /usr/info
                ln -s share/info /usr/info
        else
                echo Making /usr/info/dir a symlink to /usr/share/info/dir.
                ln -sf ../share/info/dir /usr/info/dir
        fi
fi
