Cf. wishlist: http://bugs.debian.org/541486

The program contains many options and its call syntax offers various
arguments.

Please add EXAMPLES section to the manual page to list few typical use
cases with options, files, directories.

I agree, but I'm not going to have a chance to do this any time soon.
If you or someone else can send me text, I'll be happy to include it, of
course.

By the way, any such patch should be relative to the --help message, not
the man page.  The man page is generated with help2man.

Another possibility is to add more documentation about install-info to
texinfo.txi.  Currently it is effectively the same as the --help
message.
