yes, there is "grep -iv debian" to _reject_ debian versions of install-info.

CVS Automake has improved version of the test, consider using it:

## Only run this code if install-info actually exists, and it is not
## the Debian install-info.  FIXME: once Debian install-info goes
## away, we can remove this hack.  Some versions of Debian install-info
## print their version on stderr (e.g. 1.8.3), other do it in
## on stdout (e.g. 1.10.15).
        @if (install-info --version && \
             install-info --version 2>&1 | sed 1q | grep -i -v debian) 
>/dev/null 2>&1; then


Have a nice day,
        Stepan
