Hi foolishchild,

Yeah, I understand you're point. And you're probably right (though,
IIRC, Fedora Core uses the "info coreutils ls" version, which is why I
did it that way: also, I thought it was closer to the upstream's
intentions, but on closer investigation I don't believe that any
longer).

However, editing the info file seems clearly the wrong way to go (.texi
would be more appropriate), especially with the sort of hack where you
take two sections and pretend they're one (also, your attached .info.gz
file is wrong for the current version of coreutils, 5.96).

The .texi/.info files already /have/ the appropriate section
("Individual utilities"): the solution should probably be to fix the
post-install scripts so they stick this section in there along with the
"Basic" one.
