Package: dpkg
Version: 1.6.9
Severity: wishlist

Bugs in install-info can cause dir file breakage which is hard to fix later
(like here, I'm seeing the TeX section before the "The list of major topics
 begins on the next line."). It would be a better idea to save the data in a
harder-to-break file format (like one package per file in some random
/usr/share dir) than doing read-modify-write in a fuzzly-formated file like dir
(which can cause hard-to-fix cumulative errors).
