Package: docbook2x
Version: 0.8.8-9
Severity: serious
Justification: makes unrelated software on the system break

Hello,

according to

	https://packages.debian.org/jessie/arm64/docbook2x/filelist
	https://packages.debian.org/jessie/powerpc/docbook2x/filelist

the docbook2x package ships a file /usr/share/info/dir.gz on arm64 and
powerpc. Installing this package overwrites the index of installed info
pages making these inaccessible.

The problem occurs iff the building host has install-info installed. The
arm64 buildlog[1] has:

 /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 './docbook2X.info' '/«PKGBUILDDIR»/debian/docbook2x//usr/share/info/docbook2X.info'
 install-info --info-dir='/«PKGBUILDDIR»/debian/docbook2x//usr/share/info' '/«PKGBUILDDIR»/debian/docbook2x//usr/share/info/docbook2X.info'

while the second line isn't done on e.g. armhf[2].

Best regards
Uwe
