screen was last built for Ubuntu in quantal; since then Ubuntu has moved to a new version of texinfo upstream which no longer supports the size-based splitting. Changelog suggests this is just rarely used anymore.

  * Cherry pick two changes from Debian to fix FTBFS (LP: #1213278):
    [ Axel Beckert ]
    - Update debian/patches/13split_info_files.(d)patch to change now ambiguous
      makeinfo option --split to --split-size. Fixes FTBFS with texinfo 5.x.
    - Use doc/screen.info* instead of listing every file indiviually in
      debian/info.
