Re: (fwd) Bug#792328: info: can no longer find the Emacs manual

            /usr/share/info/emacs-24/emacs.info.gz

FWIW, to the best of my knowledge, $(infodir) has always been a flat
directory, and dir files a flat namespace.  The problem of multiple
versions, similar to multiple languages, has never been satisfactorily
resolved.  This is the first time I have ever seen subdirectories being
used in this way.  I don't like it and don't know of anything anywhere
claims it is supported, let alone recommended.

The only reliable way I know of is to have different names for the info
files (emacs24.info, ccmode24.info, etc.).  Problematic I know, but
every solution I have ever seen proposed, including this one, is problematic.
