Just to illustrate what is in the current postinst script.
r...@amd754n:/var/lib/dpkg/info# grep -B5 -A5 install-info
emacs23-common.postinst
CRUFT_INFOFILES="ccmode emacs widget"
# We have to clean these up because the old package didn't. The info
# files were being removed in the postinst, not the prerm, and so
# install-info wasn't doing anything because the files weren't there..
for file in ${CRUFT_INFOFILES}
do
install-info --quiet --remove-exactly ${file} || true
done
for file in ${INFO_FILES}
do
install-info --quiet --section Emacs Emacs \
/usr/share/info/${INFO_SUBDIR}/${file}.gz || true
done
Perhaps there is no point in having calls to install-info in that script
emacs23-common.postinst as they are being ignored anyway, and are just
generating the warnings. Could just edit them out?
Further question is how to perform the same operation as "install-info --quiet
--section Emacs Emacs \
/usr/share/info/${INFO_SUBDIR}/${file}.gz || true"
...but by using triggers.
I'm guessing from a quick browse of the dpkg-triggers-how article below, that
files like
DEBIAN/triggers need adding into a package somewhere.

I confess to lots of guesswork in my comment here (please don't flame me) and
genuinely thank the package maintainers for making my favourite editor (emacs)
available in the latest release \o/
