Yes, that is the root of the problem. It came down to a dispute about which of two install-info programs should be installed. I'm amazed that it's lasted so long (it seems it's been at least two years, now).
I don't think it's a dispute at this point so much as nobody has stepped up to fix the problem. :) (I think it was a dispute when the gnu version was released and was incompatible (late '90s?), but that's water under a far distant bridge at this point.) I think that the goal is to replace the debian version with the gnu version, it just hasn't happened yet.
