Bug#1114935: maxima-doc: Cannot find documentation for '': missing info file

Package: maxima-doc
Version: 5.47.0-8
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: cory.cross+debian@gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

Installed maxima for the first time. Open maxima or xmaxima, run
`describe("plot2d");`. Get the following:

```
Cannot find documentation for `plot2d': missing info file

 /usr/share/doc/maxima/info/./maxima.info-1
 -- an error. To debug this try: debugmode(true);
```

I noticed `maxima-doc` installed this file:

/usr/share/info/maxima.info-1.gz

So I think either maxima-doc is installing to the wrong location or maxima
and xmaxima are configured to look in the wrong place.
