Bug Description
The postinst script of the 'emacs23-common' package has explicit calls to 'install-info'. Since lucid, this provokes confusing warning messages, because info files are now supposed to be registered via triggers.
Test Case:
# apt-get install --reinstall emacs23-common
Result:
>> LANG=C sudo apt-get install --reinstall emacs23-common
[...]

Expected Result:

Original Report:
Binary package hint: emacs23
