We already had this discussion here:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=528892
The worst that can happen is that they install a new package from squeeze
and its info file doesn't appear in the main menu. It's still accessible
via "info <name>". You can add dependency to a newer dpkg or install-info
if you care, but it's counter productive.
