Thanks. I also found many packages exclude Debian's install-info,
and what should be mentioned specially is the following ChangeLog
entry in glibc-2.3.2:
1997-07-15 Marcus G. Daniels <marcus@cathcart.sysc.pdx.edu>
* manual/Makefile (INSTALL_INFO): Introduce variable to override
path to install-info for systems like Debian that have an
install-info with a different command line interface from the
canonical GNU texinfo version.
According to the manual/Makefile file, it seems necessary to
specify the section name to Debian's install-info program like:
install-info --info-dir=DIR --section '^Gnus:' 'Gnus:' ./gnus
Although Artiom Neganov wrote that the present install-info of
Debian works with the same command line arguments as the GNU
version, I leave the solution to Debian maintainers since I'm
not a Debian user.
;; I'll forward this message to Artiom Neganov and the emacs-w3m
;; list.
