It is a known bug in texinfo.  If the package (and hence directory, via use
of pbuilder) contains a ~, the files get dropped:

If the package does not contain a ~ in the name (as in this accidental build
when I had not yet fixed the changlog entry) it all works:

Kurt, where do we stand with that?  Hadn't you concluded that texinfo
upstream knew this / fixed this?

In any event, come next Monday and R 2.8.0-1, the bug will be gone so I'll
tag this as 'pending' and reduce the severity if you don't mind.

Dirk
