But from what I saw in the Ubuntu man-page, debian install-info is a wrapper
around GNU install-info that does *nothing different* in the ``normal'' case.
It only behaves differently when one is doing Debian maintenance thingies,
whatever
that means - from the man page:
,----
| install-info is a wrapper around GNU install-info. If it is called
from a normal shell or
| script it acts like GNU install-info by forwarding all options to
ginstall-info.
|
| If it is called from a maintainer script it gives a warning to
rebuild packages and does
| nothing, since info file installation is now done via triggers.
`----
What happens when you run the org make on that system with no changes at all?
Does
anything break?
