Yes, I agree.  I didn't notice the problem even when I tested
packaging, because the new defaults (/usr/share/info and
/usr/share/doc) are what I've been configuring GDB to use for ages.

The current version is my fault; Debian/unstable upgraded to 2.59d. 
Could someone else please regenerate it for me?  At some point I'll
have to get a local installation of it together, but not tonight.
