Is it a mistake to depend on dpkg (>= 1.15.4) | install-info ?

Not at all. Here's an excerpt from dpkg changelog:

dpkg (1.15.4) unstable; urgency=low

    [ Raphael Hertzog ]
    * Replace install-info by a wrapper around GNU's install-info. The wrapper
      will be dropped in squeeze+1. dpkg now Breaks: old versions of
      info-browsers that do not depend on the new install-info package
      that provides the real functionality. Closes: #9771, #523980
      See http://wiki.debian.org/Transitions/DpkgToGnuInstallInfo for details.

BTW, debhelper is adding such a dependency automatically if necessary.
