+.SH NAME
+dh_installinfo \- install and register info files
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B dh_installinfo
+.I "[debhelper options] [-A] [-n] [file ...]"
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+dh_installinfo is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing
+info files and registering them with install-info.
+.P
+Any filenames specified as parameters will be installed into the first
+package dh_installinfo is told to act on. By default, this is the first 
+binary package in debian/control, but if you use -p, -i, or -a flags, it 
+will be the first package specified by those flags.
+.P
+A file named debian/package.info (debian/info may be used for the first
+binary package in debian/control) can list other files to be installed.
+.P
+dh_installinfo will automatically generate the postinst and prerm commands
+needed to interface with install-info. See
+.BR dh_installdeb (1)
+for an explanation of how this works.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP

+acted on.

+in debian/info file. This is more a historical design flaw than a bug.
