I don't know wheter other systems do some symlinks tricks to achieve the expected behaveour, but at least on Debian issuing:

        info mv

will give me the _manpage_ of mv, since there is no texinfo mv manual. The following however does work.

        info coreutils mv

So I suggest this patch here:

$ diff -u help2man.orig help2man
--- help2man.orig       2005-12-16 22:18:23.000000000 +0100
+++ help2man    2005-12-16 22:18:58.000000000 +0100

 .B %s
 programs are properly installed at your site, the command

-.B info %s
+.B info coreutils %s

In case this is some setup or configuration issue I'd be glad to be pointed into the right direction so I can suggest a fix for Debian's "info" setup.

Thanks,
