I'm glad to see this problem being addressed. (And once more I should apologise for perpetrating Debian's install-info, whose design is fundamentally wrong for the reasons you give.) Have you considered whether the new dpkg triggers feature currently being discussed in another thread in debian-dpkg might be helpful ? It's intended to be used for this kind of thing. Of course you may prefer to press ahead without waiting for it. Ian.
