While building the odepkg package for Debian, I wished to install the
odepkg.info file as obtained from doc/odepkg.texi.  The new install-info
in Debian unstable (the one from GNU, in contrast with the one from dpkg
previously used) now complains that dir section information is missing.

For the Debian package, I am for now patching the upstream sources,
version 0.6.6, with the patch attached below.  I did not commit it to SVN
because my choice of section and title are adapted to Debian and may not
suit the upstream authors.

Please, consider changing the sources in SVN along these lines.

Change this patch to add @dircategory and @direntry macros directly
into the texinfo source file.
