I have a question regarding the timeline published in the wiki page:

    Timeline

        * Upload texinfo with new install-info to unstable
        * File bugs on all info-browser providing packages [...]
        * Ensure above bugs are fixed quickly.
        * Upload the new dpkg.
        * File bugs against all the info shipping packages with problematic
          info files. [...]
        * Update all packages providing info files. 

The present bug report relates to the fifth step in the list above.
However, I have not seen a new dpkg being uploaded to unstable.  Neither
have I seen the new texinfo with install-info being uploaded to unstable.

This means that if I fix this bug and upload right now the jed package to
unstable, it will fail to install the info files.  Am I missing something
or have the regarding packages just been uploaded?

Cheers,
