Bug#708502: New dpkg no longer contains install-info, rising to serious

["Daniel Leidert" <daniel.leidert@wgdd.de>]

Hi,

Andreas, if you are right with your observation (which I don't doubt),
than dh_installinfo/debhelper needs to care about creating an empty prerm
script. It cannot be the task of package maintainers, which are affected
by this transition to create and ship an empty prerm scripts for 2
releases (this is usually the time necssary to ship transition code in
maintainer scripts). Better let dh_installinfo output some thing
non-functional like

if [ "$1" = "remove" ] || [ "$1" = "upgrade" ]; then
