Under Debian/unstable, when I type "info automake", I get the man page
(default fallback) instead of the GNU Automake manual.
The Debian package 6.0.0.dfsg.1-1 is also buggy, but 5.2.0.dfsg.1-6
is OK (e.g. after downgrading to this version).
In strace output for 5.2.0.dfsg.1-6, I get:
[...]

25831 stat("/usr/share/info/automake-1.15.info.gz", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644,
st_size=3206, ...}) = 0

In strace output for 6.0.0.dfsg.1-1, I get:

The /usr/share/info/dir file contains:
* automake-invocation: (automake-1.15)automake Invocation.
* Automake: (automake-1.15). Making GNU standards-compliant Makefiles.
in both cases, in case this matters (according to strace, this file
is read in both cases).
