I was thinking about this... How about just altering "install-info" a
bit so that if, on install, the "dir" file does not exist, then it removes
the info files it was about to install. On de-install, if "dir" did not
exist then it would just exit.
Telling "dpkg" not to install info files would be as simple as:
rm -f /usr/info/dir
