In your .info file, you cat put these lines at the top INFO-DIR-SECTION Editors START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY * fancy_editor: (fancy_editor.info). Fancy editor description. END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY And then install-info will be able to determine the description to use, and dh_installinfo will add the correct --section flags for you. Adam
