Package: dpkg
Version: 1.14.16.6
When the texinfo info doc has been installed, the info file contains:
INFO-DIR-SECTION Texinfo documentation system
and so the dir file ends up with a section entitled "Texinfo
documentation system"
However, when packages providing info files specifying:
INFO-DIR-SECTION TeX
are later installed, "TeX" is turned into a regex /^tex/, which ends
up matching "Texinfo documentation system". So I now have a load of
TeX documentation under the "Texinfo documentation system" heading in
my info directory.
It would make sense that if INFO-DIR-SECTION is read from an info
file, that it is not treated as a regex, but used only as an exact
match.

I verified that this bug doesn't apply to GNU's install-info. Now that
dpkg's install-info is gone, I'm closing this bug.
