I've modified mailutils.info to specify sections, see my ChangeLog
for last night. That's why I was confused, make install wasn't
adding my entries to /usr/local/info/dir.

It's not critical, I did it manually, and I guess your debian
spec file takes care of this if you do a real debian package?

Btw, if it's easy, could you give me the 2 minute "you've got
mailutils source on a debian system, here's how to build and
install it as a real debian package". Or am I better off just
running the install target?
