What about that code in install-info (I am not sure if that is the right
way to check for DPKG_RUNNING_VERSION):
if [ -z "$DPKG_RUNNING_VERSION" ] ; then
# it seems we are running from outside a maintainer script, so give a
# warning and call ginstall-info without anything else
#
# should we warn at all??? probably not
echo "This is not dpkg install-info anymore, but GNU install-info" >&2
echo "See the man page for ginstall-info for command line arguments" >&2
ginstall-info "$@"
else
# we are running from a maintainer script, simply ignore the call
# since we have trigger support and people should rebuild their
# package with new debhelper which does not add calls to install-info
echo "ignoring install-info called from maintainer script" >&2
echo "this package should be rebuild with new debhelper to get trigger support
" >&2
fi
Best wishes

there is no one inside.
