Yap, same over here.

Building the package with "options=(!docs)" helps, though.

If you're going to install an info file, I'd suggest removing the file /usr/share/info/dir from your package (because it's used by every package that uses info and so shouldn't be overwritten by any given package) and creating an msmtp.install file that runs install-info(1) when installing and install-info --remove when uninstalling.

Thanks!
