Package: dpkg
Version: 1.15.4
Severity: normal
Dpkg should know nothing about packages that depend on it. Currently it
provides a list of packages it 'breaks'.
By the way no info neither in description nor in changelog about how it breaks
them.

What you saw is the expected behaviour, we want to ensure that you have
new enough konqueror so that dpkg can drop install-info without breaking
anything.
It doesn't pull anything new, it just forces the upgrade of what's already
installed if you have packages that have not been transitionned to the
separate install-info package.
And the changelog said:
* Replace install-info by a wrapper around GNU's install-info. The wrapper
will be dropped in squeeze+1. dpkg now Breaks: old versions of
info-browsers that do not depend on the new install-info package
that provides the real functionality. Closes: #9771, #523980
See http://wiki.debian.org/Transitions/DpkgToGnuInstallInfo for details.
So closing this bug.
Cheers,
