I just double checked on two amd64 machines running Debian wheezy. Both were last upgraded on [2012-07-31 Tue]. Both machines have the same emacs-version (23.4.1) and org-version (7.8.11). Both machines have the same value for Info-directory-list and Info-default-directory-list. Yet, on one I get the info pages for org-mode 6.33x and on the other for 7.8.11. The latter machine was freshly installed 2012-07-19, the former 2010-12-30 (and has seen more or less biweekly upgrades ever since). Neither machine's .emacs file tweaks any of the info functionality that I'm aware of. So, I'm not sure that this is (still) an issue with Debian's org-mode package. At least on a recent wheezy installation it does not show. I don't have access to an Ubuntu 12.04 (pangolin) machine right now but maybe I can check tonight.
