Bug#669915: debian-policy: §12.2 recommends possibly unneeded dependency (for Wheezy)



Source: debian-policy
Severity: minor

Hi,

Policy §12.2 recommends the use of "dpkg (>= 1.15.4) | install-info"
to smoothen updates from lenny[1].
  Given that Squeeze is out and "we" generally do not support "stable"
to "stable + 2" upgrades, this recommendation is probably no longer
needed.

"""
Packages containing info documents should depend on dpkg (>= 1.15.4) |
install-info to ensure that the directory file is properly rebuilt
during partial upgrades from Debian 5.0 (lenny) and earlier.
"""
