I am not sure we should fix this.  The /usr/share/info/octave.info.gz file
is already managed by upadte-alternatives.

This is already in /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50octave2.*-emacsen.el.

Are you suggesting that the code above (or a variant of it) should be added
to the initialization file?  Adding a dependency to gnuserv and forcing its
loading does not seem to be a good idea to me.

In sum, the points above do not justify a real bug report, hence the
"moreinfo" tag.  As usual, this bug report will be closed in a reasonable
time frame if there is no better argumentation for it.

Thanks,
