Package: debhelper
Version: 8.9.2
Severity: normal

Hi,

I'm preparing a package which contains one single binary and some texinfo 
documentation.
But when I do dpkg-buildpackage, a debian/package/usr/share/info/dir.gz is 
automatically generated.
lintian doesn't like at all. In other words, it complains with the presence of
dir.gz, but this file is auto-generated by debhelper. The info file is created
in the parent directory, debian/../.

So I think this dir.gz shouldn't be generated automatically in such situations.

I hope it helps.

Regards,
