Bug Description

At the end of the uvcdynctrl man page it says:

       The full documentation for uvcdynctrl is maintained as a Texinfo man‐
       ual. If the info and uvcdynctrl programs are properly installed at
       your site, the command

              info uvcdynctrl

       should give you access to the complete manual.

The package does not include an info page:
bash$ dpkg -L uvcdynctrl uvcdynctrl-data | grep -c info
0

Running "info uvcdynctrl" uses the info browser to display the same text as "man uvcdynctrl".

My preferred solution is to include the info page.

If the info page is not available then the man page should be updated not to refer to the info page.
