-2 fixes unwanted info directory.
Don't we want to keep the info/ dir, now that we had this discussion a
few months back? As info is the primary mode of documentation for some
of these GNU programs, it is probably helpful when people are getting
their system up and running if they don't yet have a net connection.

I think there was no rule decided. Afair we wanted to let it up to the
maintainer if he wants to add info files and further documentation when
he thinks it's helpful. I don't use the info command at all but could
also live with enabling all documentation. We ship headers in every
case so why not all possible content upstream developers install by
default.
Maybe we should put a clear statement into the Arch packaging standards
wiki page.

My understanding on this was that we include the info pages/docs. The only
exception was for the case when the documentation increase the package
size significantly like in the case of glib2. Then the maintainer can, at
his discretion, disable docs.
