Perhaps you have somehow replaced debian's install-info with the GNU
one, which has a very different purpose. I suggest you check out:
joey@dragon:~>which install-info
/usr/sbin/install-info
joey@dragon:~>install-info --help
usage: install-info [--version] [--help] [--debug] [--maxwidth=nnn]
[--section regexp title] [--infodir=xxx] [--align=nnn]
[--calign=nnn] [--quiet] [--menuentry=xxx] [--info-dir=xxx]
[--keep-old] [--description=xxx] [--test]
[--remove | --remove-exactly ]
