Ok, here is a bug email, if someone wants to read it before I send it
out:

Dear maintainer,

we are currently replacing the dpkg install-info with GNU install-info
and at the same time reworking the installation method for info files
with triggers.

As a package maintainer your only job is to drop info files below
/usr/share/info and the package install-info will care for the rest
by recreating the dir file from all installed info files.

There is one problem in the info files of your packages
	#PACKAGE#
because the files:
	#FILES#
do not ship info dir sections. So calling install-info (the GNU version)
on these files issue a warning:
	install-info: warning: no info dir entry in `/usr/share/info/...'
and the file is not included in the dir file.

The source of this problem is the following missing entry in the
texinfo source:

That is not the best place, it is only where Frank did put the binaries
for me to fetch them (what I am doing ATM).

If you want you can try in about 20min
	deb http://people.debian.org/~preining/TeX/ tl2008/
BUT BE WARNED!!!!

Nothing *ABSOLUTELY* NOTHING has been tested with these packages. 

They will:
- quite surely break your TeX installation 
- quite unprobably but possibly break your whole installation

Still, if you find time to give it a test run ... that would be great.

Best wishes

Norbert

Ok, done and uploaded.

So everyone now can try
	deb http://people.debian.org/~preining/TeX/ tl2008/
for i386 and amd64. Please report.
