Hey all,

While packaging the new Automake, I ran into something that got me
thinking. A bug (since fixed in 1.18.1) made it try to rebuild the info
documentation from its Texinfo sources, which implied a new BuildRequires:
texinfo dependency on packages that depend on Automake.

This got me wondering, we build packages from the source, but for some
packages, we just ship the pre-generated info files that come in the
tarball instead of building them from the .texi source files ourselves.

So, I wanted to get your take on this: *Should we make it a standard
practice to build info docs from their .texi sources, instead of using the
pre-built ones?*

Curious to hear your thoughts!

Fred.
