The lack of sections is annoying,
What do you mean, "lack of sections"? What sort of "sections" do you refer to? Info-package sections, dppkg/apt sections, or what?
Sorry, my mind reader module is off today, please try to be a bit more descriptive next time around, eases life for us all.
He's talking about sections within the gnu info documentation system (i.e. the command `info' installed through the texinfo package).
When you run the install-info command to add new docs to the documentation index (/sw/share/info/dir), you can specify a Section (e.g., Development, Editors, Math, Document Preparation, etc.) using the `--section foo' argument, or let the command use whatever section is specified in the doc file.
Looking at my dir file, it seems that everything that doesn't manually call install-info in its PostRm just gets lumped into Miscellaneous. I haven't really examined the script, but I'm less sure that the error is in install-info since it's identical to the one used by debian. You'd think that if there were a problem, they would have spotted it before we did; but you never know...
