Ahhh. I should have looked harder at the error message (and read 
Martin's reply before I wrote my own). He's right, it is just because of 
the debian-based install-info. You can safely ignore these errors (since 
fink handles the InfoDoc installation after the build process anyway). 
Sorry for the red herring...
