I found the reason, it's a line in tpm2deb.cfg which I do not
understand:
# MAPPINGS AND SPECIALS
#
mapping;.*/[^/]*\.info;;
special;.*/([^/]*\.info);install-info;
The first one has the result that latex.info is not installed,
tpm2deb-bin.pl with --debug tells us:
DESTINATION NAME = texmf-texlive/doc/info/latex.info
REMAP HIT f=texmf/doc/info/latex.info
newdest=
pat=.*/[^/]*\.info
dest=
:empty:
I think the mapping line should instead be
mapping;.*/([^/]*\.info);remap;$rundest/info/
But then (it seems) the next line needs to be changed, too -
tl-latex-base's postinst does not call install-info.
