$ ls /usr/share/info/maxima*
/usr/share/info/maxima-index.lisp.gz /usr/share/info/maxima.info-3.gz
/usr/share/info/maxima.info-1.gz /usr/share/info/maxima.info.gz
/usr/share/info/maxima.info-2.gz
So, the problem is that pdebuild(debian build system) archives all of
the info files.
I just installed maxima by make && make install, everything works fine.
Thanks for answer.
