$ dpkg -S /usr/share/info/dir.gz
cvs: /usr/share/info/dir.gz
$ dpkg --contents /var/cache/apt/archives/cvs_1%3a1.12.13-12+squeeze1_amd64.deb |grep dir

The practical effect is that Emacs' info viewer cannot see the info directory. See the discussion at #543564 and a similar bug in another package at #537835.

Perhaps there should be some systematic approach to preventing packages shipping such toxic files?
