Package: grub
Version: 0.5.95
Severity: normal
On Debian systems
If makeinfo is not available when building the package, dummy info files are
generated and "install-info" fails on the "postinst" saying it doesn't find a
description for the files.
Also aclocal.m4 should be updated to look for makeinfo, otherwise it is
allways as not having makeinfo:

dnl Like AM_MISSING_PROG, but only looks for install-sh.
Posible fixes:
o Not installing any info files if makeinfo is not available.
o Giving --description option to "install-info".
o Make more "complete" dummy files.
