Description:

The info manuals are not installed, contradicting the man page and reducing the usefulness of this package.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Run "man r".
2. Observe at the bottom: If the info program and the R manuals are installed on your system, typing info -f R-intro, info -f R-data, info -f R-exts, info -f R-FAQ, info -f R-lang and info -f R-ints should give you access to ``An Introduction to R'' (the basic manual), the ``R Data Import/Export'' Guide, the ``R Extension Writer's Guide'', the ``R FAQ'', the ``The R Language Definition'', and the ``R Internals''.
3. Try running any of those commands and observe that they fail.

Since the info program is installed on my system, it should be possible to install the R manuals on my system as well.
This task depends upon
