The invocation with --info-files is only understood by GNU install-info,
that was presumably the reason for introducing the extra target
install-info-debian.

This invocation does the same thing (per the man and info manuals) on
GNU install-info, but is also compatible with the older install-info
supplied by Debian, which does not know about some options of GNU info.
So whichever install-info gets chosen (since we cannot know what $PATH
is set to) should work. If it is GNU install-info, then the warning
message is printed that we actually called a wrapper script that hands
off its arguments to ginstall-info. If it is the dpkg install-info,
then we get a bunch of verbose output that GNU install-info doesn't
produce, but it also results in a working info page.

On Windows you can either have MSys or Cygwin to get install-info. Both
really are GNU install-info, so unless there is yet another install-info
I don't see why this would not work.
