Package: jed-common
Version: 1:0.99.19-2
Hi,
I noticed just now that jed/xjed no longer depends on install-info
due to this:
* Dropped install-info from the Depends field of jed and xjed. This
package is needed by jed-common and pulled in via dh_installinfo.

This was a bad decision. jed-common doesn't depends on install-info
but on "dpkg (>= 1.15.4) | install-info" so install-info will NOT be
pulled in the upgrade if dpkg is upgraded at the same time.
Please fix the dependency on jed-common to be unconditional (the dependency
introduced by dh_installinfo will then be automatically simplified as it's
redundant).
Cheers,
