You will find attached below a bug report filed against the Debian package
octave2.9 regarding the info-emacs-info script. The followups to this bug
reported can be seen at:
http://bugs.debian.org/368843
The info-emacs script seems to be still broken in CVS. As the reporter
writes, the order of the options in the invocation of INFO_PROGRAM
changed (--directory comes before --file now) and the old info-emacs-info
script gets confused.
Here is a patch that fixes the problem. Notice that I replaced the call to
the deprecated gnudoit by a call to gnuclient.
