Hi! I have prepared an NMU that fixes this problem. I have been able to reproduce the problem by installing install-info in the build environment, and then fix the problem by removing the dir file generated, in debian/rules.
The diff is very simple. I'm attaching the interdiff output for both packages. According to the release policy, I'm going to upload this package to the 0-day delayed queue, so that this package gets in for the next dinstall run. -- Love, Marga
