problem with info files

- Subject: problem with info files
Greetings package maintainers,
I notice that _update-info-dir assumes that all info files worth
indexing are of the form "/usr/info/*.info".
Unfortunately, there are 3 packages (if I count correctly) that do
not follow this rule:
emacs
texinfo
groff
Are the maintainers of those packages aware of the problem? Can these
packages be fixed?
Alternatively, it might be possible to re-write
/etc/postinstall/update-info-dir.sh to catch these exceptional cases.
Thanks for your attention.
Regards,
David
