Package: gperf
Version: 3.0.3-1
Severity: minor
Justification: silly message at configure time

Today I installed gperf as a build-time dependency of another package.

        Unpacking gperf (from .../gperf_3.0.3-1+b1_amd64.deb) ...
        Setting up gperf (3.0.3-1+b1) ...
        Ignoring install-info called from maintainer script
        The package gperf should be rebuilt with new debhelper to get trigger 
support

The error message rests on a false assumption, since gperf does not
use dh_installinfo.  gperf/debian/postinst says:

        #! /bin/sh
        set -e

        install-info --quiet --section "Development" "Development" 
/usr/share/info/gperf.info
        #DEBHELPER#

To fix the package, it should be enough to drop the install-info line
from postinst, since install-info's interest in /usr/share/info means
the Info directory gets updated automagically when appropriate
nowadays.

Thanks,
Jonathan
