It does if the documentation that is placed into the documentation directory
is structured in such a way that for the majority of general naive users pages
he or she expects are in the front are inexplicably at the back. It is true
that in some french texts that is this is normal.
I suppose that Thomas can't be held responsible for any perceived deficiencies
in packages he builds tetex from, however, as such he could perhaps have
sent a note to the texinfo maintainers as I hardly think I'm the first
one to notice this phenomena. I certainly didn't intend to mean any
disrespect--keep up the good work Thomas.
I should have phrased my complaint in the context of tetex more directly.
I'll look into sending a note to the texinfo macros.
