Debian has its own install-info. It writes the right dir entries, it
seems, but it /additionally/ references /var/backups.
The Debian folk say that their install-info does exactly what Debian
needs. But I'm afraid it doesn't do what I need. I'd be happy about
a regular install-info as distributed with GNU Texinfo. But that
will never happen (I mean they never will distribute it), I'm afraid.
