Haa now that you ask I peeked into it in more details and found
the problem: The files are *the*same*.
The point is that the original source is info.texi that is included in
the emcs package *and* the texinfo package (source) becasue it documents
both teh Emacs mode and the info reader itself.
I checked, there are hardly any differences int he files, the one from
emacs are a bit newer but no significatn changes.
How do we resolve that? I propose that we ship it only in the
texinfo-doc-nonfree
and you add a suggest in emacs to texinfo-doc-nonfree in addition to the
emacs23-common-non-dfsg.
But if you have other suggestions I am open, please let me know!
I don't want to start up some alternatives system, and shipping the same
info document two times is not necessary.
Best wishes
