And it persists no matter how I build the package whether it's the original git-buildpackage that I used for 4.2.0.6 uploads so far, or debuild or pbuilder. I think the bug is not with bashdb, but with install-info. Even if I explicitly remove /usr/share/info/dir.gz after dh_installinfo is run it still ends up in the package.
