[Debian GNUstep maintainers] Bug#489279: gnustep-base-doc: package is empty

Hi Hubert,

If you disagree with the severity, please downgrade.  An empty
documentation package sounds like a grave bug in that package to me.

It looks like everything is built and installed properly, but because
GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_INFO in the `install-doc' target expands to the empty
string, the whole directory is deleted.  This trivial change fixes the
problem:

While we're here...  Is there any rationale for removing the Info
manuals?  Personally, I strongly prefer namely that format for
documentation compared to anything else.  Would be nice to ship them
post-Lenny.
