The postinst script contains only one command: install-info --quiet /usr/share/info/gzip.info Could you call that on the comand line, but using the --debug flag instead?

I.e. install-info is not expected to recognize a gzip file if the .gz extension is not submitted on the command line. The postinst script however is generated, hence that could be a bug in dh_installinfo. Reads quite confused above, yes it is. What is your version of dpkg?

The postinst content is indeed being generated by dh_installinfo, called this way: dh_installinfo doc/gzip.info No recent changes to that part of the packaging... so I'm not really sure what the root cause of this problem might be.
