Bug#726566: libblitz0ldbl: blitz.info dir entry

Package: libblitz0ldbl
Version: 1:0.10-1
Severity: minor
File: /usr/share/info/blitz.info.gz

blitz.info contains

    START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
    * Blitz++: (blitz++).           High-performance C++ numeric library
    END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY

which is installed into /usr/share/info/dir.  But in "/usr/bin/info"
pressing ret on that line in the dir gives an error

    blitz++: No such file or directory

Perhaps the filename part is meant to be without the ++

    * Blitz++: (blitz).           High-performance C++ numeric library

I wondered too whether blitz.info would be in the -dev or -doc package
rather than the lib libblitz0ldbl.  But I see that's done deliberately
in debian/libblitz0ldbl.info so perhaps there's a reason.
