Most @nodes in Maxima's documentation have an "up" specified (and info
itself seems to follow them as expected) -- there are only a few that
don't, e.g.
doc/info/minpack.texi:@node Introduction to minpack, , ,
doc/info/minpack.texi:@node Functions and Variables for minpack, , ,
Are those few confusing Emacs? If so I guess it's no big deal to fix
them. But if Emacs is generally confused by Maxima's info files, I'm
not sure I would want to overhaul them for the sake of outdated Emacs
versions ....
