We've been around the block a few times with Debian,
trying to do just that, but there's at least one problem:
`info coreutils pr' would display the `printing text'
section of the manual, not the one on `pr invocation'.
See the ChangeLog for man/Makefile.am for more details.
However, if we can fix `info' to do the right thing,
then I'd be happy to change it.
