What if we just check (based on timestamps of files in /etc/setup/*.lst.gz) whether anything has been installed into /usr/info or /usr/share/info since we last did this check. If so, then just do exactly what the current update-info-dir.sh does.We also need to track if something was deinstalled. Unless we want to force all packages to do the appropriate install-info calls themselves in preremove and postinstall, of course.autorebase can't get away with anything so simple, but it seems to me that this is good enough for update_info_dir.We can always fall back to what we are doing now, yes. But I'd like to see if it can be improved.The attached script is what I had in mind. It's better than what we have now and could be a starting point.

Achim, I'd be willing to ITA _update-info-dir and provide this script, but I'm also happy to defer to you if you want to improve it.
