I think it's a good idea. When I was looking into the install-info problems I also thought about this. The solutions I could see were either moving it to a new package generated from the info src package, or move to an existing binary package like info and make it essential (but I don't see moving info to essential as something people will like ;). Currently ginstall-info is present in texinfo, but this packages takes around 2 MiB, info takes around 300 KiB. Probably we can take this oportunity as well to get install-info and the dir file currently in the base-files into the same package. regards, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
