So dh_installinfo needs to be modified to match. I let you figure out the
details.

If you really want to avoid troubles with partial upgrades you can add a
dependency via misc:Depends that look like this:
dpkg (>= 1.15.4) | install-info

dpkg 1.15.4 is likely the first version that will have the Breaks line
that ensure that install-info is installed or that there is no
info-browsers so that install-info is not needed.

(We upload dpkg 1.15.3 tomorrow and hopefully the following version will remove
install-info)

Not sure that dh_installinfo can be of any help here... maybe it could add
default entry if it doesn't find one ?
