I propose to add this to the Debian emacs policy document: 10) Installation of Info links for add-on packages Each emacsen main package will provide a file /usr/info/, which will have the same format as the main info directory in /usr/info/dir. This file must not be gzipped. Each add-on package that includes Info documentation must use the install-info-altdir program to install and remove entries from the proper /usr/info/ directory files. This should be done from the package's install and remove scripts. install-info-altdir is provided by emacsen-common. The only difference from the ordinary install-info program is that install-info-altdir allows an alternate name to be specified for the Info directory file. If an addon package does not support an emacs flavor, then it should not install a link in that flavor's Info directory file. I have prepared a version of /usr/sbin/install-info-altdir.
