lisp/info.el to include /usr/share/info/emacs-MAJORVERSION before
/usr/share/info.

 remove files that appear to be incompatible with the dfsg

Files that appear to be incompatible with the DFSG have been removed.

A number of files have been removed from this package because their
licenses are not compatible with the Debian Free Software Guidelines
(DFSG), or because it wasn't completely clear that their licenses are
compatible.

In particular, all of the files which are covered under the GFDL and
have invariant sections have been removed in accordance with this
General Resolution: http://www.debian.org/vote/2006/vote_001.

The files that have been removed, but still appear to be
distributable, have been moved to packages in Debian's non-free
section.

 look for news in order to find etc/ rather than gnu.

Emacs will now look for NEWS in order to find etc/ rather than GNU.

Since Debian doesn't include GNU in the Debian packages (the common
licenses are in /usr/share/common-licenses), Emacs will now look for
NEWS to find the etc directory instead of GNU.

 don't try to build src/macuvs.h (via ivd_sequences.txt)

over the licensing.

a race to create info/.  This backport was adapted from the broader
patch listed below.
