[Debconf-devel] Bug#558262: "dpkg-reconfigure -a" fails to complete

Attached is the full list of packages installed over here that utilize
'install-info'.

short:
root [ /var/lib/dpkg/info ] # grep -HiIrn "install-info --quiet" . | tr ":" " 
" | awk '{print $1}' | sed 's/.prerm//;s/.postinst//' | sort -u
./a2ps
./findutils
./gcc-4.3-doc
./gpm
./gsfonts
./libsepol1
./time
./ucf


> That package should be fixed, there's nothing dpkg can do. The problem is
> probably the unexpected output that debconf is receiving but the
> solution might be to fix the package to not call install-info any more.

--- e.g. /var/lib/dpkg/info/findutils.postinst ---

# Automatically added by dh_installinfo
if [ "$1" = "configure" ]; then
	install-info --quiet /usr/share/info/find.info
fi
--------------------------------------------------


I would like to ask for advice if bugs should be filed on those packages 
and/or on dh_installinfo.
