Since the cygwin package provides some info files, shouldn't its 
"requires" line in setup-2.ini include  _update-info-dir? 
Unfortunately, the cygwin package (at least in 1.7.0-58) also provides a 
very minimal /usr/share/info/dir, so the failure to run 
/etc/postinstall/update-info-dir.sh means that /usr/share/info/dir gets 
more-or-less obliterated after cygwin is updated.

BTW, in the course of trying to figure out what happened to 
/usr/share/info/dir, I noticed what I think is a packaging bug:  Both 
cygwin and cygwin-doc provide /usr/share/info/libc.info and 
/usr/share/info/libm.info.
