[Pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#559104: info gpg-agent points at info gnupg "for full documentation", which is very terse

[Friedrich Delgado Friedrichs]

Package: gnupg
Version: 1.4.10-2
Severity: normal

The last paragraph of man gpg-agent reads thus:

,----[ gpg-agent(1) ]
         The full documentation for this tool is maintained as a Texinfo manual.
         If GnuPG and the info program are properly installed at your site,  the
         command

           info gnupg

         should  give  you access to the complete manual including a menu struc‐
         ture and an index.
`----

However calling "info gnupg" in a shell gives me the gnupg manpage
which is one paragraph of text.

Apparently I can get the full manual with "info gnupg1", however that
contains no detailed information about gpg-agent, other than the
command line switches of gpg and some environment variables.
