Yes, I knew about that and thing I submitted an update for the makefile
yonks ago to use just that. The issue seemed to be with multiple dirs
and then emacs having its own info file paths. I need to get back to building
my own emacs on debian and see what happens to be more explicit - I just
know that I, and from #emacs, others ended up in a kind of pickle.
