Consider how much less useful a dictionary would be if its pages were
printed in random order. Data in an unexpected location ('date' info)
is as much a bug as no data. Users expect either 'info touch' or 'man
touch' to have it. Please merge this bug with that 'install-info' bug
if it's not a 'coreutils' problem.
OTOH, it's almost 2 years unfixed, and I'd put odds it'll take two
more years. The expedient kludge would be to add a little man page
text with an example. A man page ought to define its own parameters
anyway, even if the info page has more detail.
HTH...
