Re: emacs manual and other missing info

I just realised that I don't have the emacs manual installed on my
laptop. I've got a desktop and an older laptop, and all three machines
run etch with emacs installed. The other two have lots of info entries
for emacs, including the main emacs manual. The new laptop, which was
installed in late September, has a very limited selection of emacs
info options:
I can't find any packages to install to give me back my emacs manual,
or any of the other obscure mode manuals and other bits that appeared
automatically. I've searched through the /usr/share/doc and
/usr/share/info directories, and as far as I can tell the files just
aren't there. Where do I get them?
(1) Go to the Debian web site, find the package search page, search for
"emacs21", "xemacs21-gnome-nomule", etc., and find on the corresponding
package description page a list of the files which comprise the
package. Then, on your system, use "find" to search for specific file
names:
# find / -iname 'emacs-documentation-name-whatever' -print
(2) From Google search on the string "emacs manual":
