Re: Bug#793067: Bug#792328: info: can no longer find the Emacs manual

[Karl Berry]

Here's what I don't get: suppose there are two versions of Emacs
installed, emacs-x and emacs-y.  Presumably Debian (and anyone else) has
some method for the user to choose which one is invoked by just "emacs".
Can't that method, whatever it is, also switch the Info files that are found?

For instance, with emacs-[xy] info files installed in
/usr/share/info/emacs-[xy]/ subdirs, it could change a symlink
/usr/share/info/emacs.info*.  Or do whatever is necessary.  Then no
special features are needed.

I just don't see how Texinfo can help to solve the
multiple-version-packaging problem.
