Actually, that is 2.0.1-3 from earlier today. -2 was fine.

Thanks for the heads up. I had started to create a doc-base file for the
'info' flavour before I noticed that doc-base doesn't support the info
format.  Per Murphy's law, I forgot to remove that broken doc-base file.

Even sadder is that the whole doc-base exercise failed as dhelp_parse flakes
out on softlinks to directories.
