Hello,

Of course, in fact, I was exchanging some mails with Christoph Egger
who wrote using the -quiet feature of the BTS. Thus I was unaware that
the mails were not distributed as usual. He suggested the
following trick :

1) switch to debootstrap;
2) add --debootstrapopts --include=install-info to the cowbuilder call.

Below is part of my last mail answering to him after his tip worked and
mentioning a possible reassign of the initial bug:

From that on, I was occupied by other "real life" stuff...

Hope this helps understand the situation ; thanks for a wonderful
package,

Ciao

Filippo
