Okay, if Jörg does not object, I will go ahead and remove the info files
altogether from the source tarball.  This means that the tarball will have
to be renamed and that we will have to remember doing this for every new
upstream release.  I will add the necessary code in the get-orig-source rule
in debian/rules.

The common practice in Debian is to rename the tarball like this:
jed_0.99.18.dfsg.1.orig.tar.gz.  The "dfsg" parts of the version number
means that we have removed files from the tarball such that it is now DFSG
compliant. The "1" after "dfsg" is just for the case we decide to tweak the
same upstream tarball again in the future (in which case it will be
0.99.18.dfsg.2).

Alternatively, we can forget about the above and decide that we will release
0.99.19 for lenny.  In this case, we can just remove the info directory
before building the upstream tarball obtained from SVN.
