To be precise, the 2>&1 part is not necessary with current dpkg, only the
sed command that does head -1 :)

I actually have a partial fix for this in the rules file

find $(texinfo) -type f -name dir -or -name install-info* | xargs rm -f

It's been there since the beginning of time...

The 2>&1 is actually never needed, as install-info from old dpkg
outputs to stderr, but imho without it is a lot less readable and it
is the version used in recent automake, which is the main reason I
used it.

"head -n 1", otherwise the coreutils maintainer will beat you with
stick ;-)

Gotcha nevertheless. :-)

BTW I am now at j, iirc 190/340 packages checked. However I am sure I
have missed some instances, as I did not do two-level unpacking needed
for checking dbs-packages (Thanks to dpatch an cdbs their number is
small today anyway)

texinfo indeed would not contain /usr/share/info/dir.gz but it would
contain /usr/share/info/dir.old.gz which would be a RC, afaik.

Package: texinfo

If rebuilt with current dpkg which sends "install-info --version" to
stdout the package will contain /usr/share/info/dir.gz. This is due to
an automake bug which is fixed in 1.7.8-1.

See Bug #214769 for details.

Yeah, Colin Watson asked me about it a few days ago, too.
It's practically not RC, but I'll fix it with the next package release.
