My web search turned up only compliments for info pages.

Help please.

If we are talking about `dd', this is part of coreutils, whose info file
comes as one big package, here:

   /usr/share/info/coreutils.info.gz

...which is part of the coreutils Debian package. So it got installed
alongside your `dd'.

Try typing in a terminal `info dd' and see what happens :)

I got the impression from the search hits I got info pages were available on the web complete with useful hyperlinks.

In a terminal "info dd" gives an annoying blob of text. Due to visual limits I *MUCH* prefer HTML for large amounts of information.
