Thanks for resurrecting the info files.  I appreciate this.

However, there are some problems:

1) The command in debian/rules:

       rmdir $(jed-common)/usr/share/jed/info

   fails because the debian/jed-common directory is celanned by dh_clean

2) According to the Policy (section 12.2) the info files must be installed
   in /usr/share/info (not in /usr/share/jed/info as above).  Besides, the
   prerm script of jed-common must call "install-info --remove".  The
   debhelper way of complying with those issues is by using dh_installinfo.
   However, hevea does not add the mandatory INFO-DIR-SECTION and
   INFO-DIR-ENTRY sections to the jed.info file.  Unfortunately, it is not
   possible to tell dh_installinfo to pass options --section and
   --description to install-info.  I am afraid we will have to do everything
   by hand.

3) The info file generated by hevea has no "Top" node.  Trying to run "info
   -f jed.info" on it fails.
