OK, so I finally got time to work on this a bit more, and I think I'm
fairly close (meaning probably a week or so) to having an
emacs24-common-non-dfsg I could upload. It puts all the info pages in
/usr/share/info/emacs-24/
with no mangling, and uses a ginormous update-alternatives to install
/usr/share/info/emacs.info.gz as the master page, with all the others as
dependents.
I also have a placeholder in the control file:
Replaces: emacs22-common (<< 22.2),
texinfo-doc-nonfree (<< ???)
Breaks: texinfo-doc-nonfree (<< ???)
If that seems reasonable, then we'll be ready on my side as soon as I
have a chance to finish up and test.
Thanks again
