Ok, here is a package, crude, nothing tested, but it is there:
deb http://people.debian.org/~preining/TeX/ i-i/
deb-src http://people.debian.org/~preining/TeX/ i-i/
or dget
http://people.debian.org/~preining/TeX/i-i/texinfo_4.13a.dfsg.1-2~exp01.dsc
It does:
- split install-info package off
- make info depend on install-info
- still ship ginstall-info
- ship install-info shell script from Nicolas
- does not conflict with dpkg in any way, that way one can install it
already now
Is that fine?
Package: install-info
Section: base
Priority: important
Thanks for taking a look
Best wishes
Norbert

CORFE (n.)
An object which is almost totally indistinguishable from a newspaper,
the one crucial difference being tat it belongs to somebody else and
is unaccountably much more interesting that your own - which may
otherwise appear to be in all respects identical. Though it is a rule
of life that a train or other public place may contain any number of
corfes but only one newspaper, it is quite possible to transform your
own perfectly ordinary newspaper into a corfe by the simple expedient
of letting somebody else read it.
