make install does not complain, and that's why we had not run across
this bug before. I guess it is the "lint" process in Debian packaging
that complained to Leo. It is very good that he noticed this bug.
I have just fixed it in the CVS repository and took the opportunity to
put both Maxima and Xmaxima in the Math section of the Info directory.
