+install-info updates the top-level dir file in the Info tree.
+(It does not actually install files into the Info directory, oddly enough.)
+
+Debian has a completely different implementation (in Perl) of
+install-info. This has been a point of great confusion. We are trying
+to reconcile the two. Bug reports and help are welcome, as always.
