Packages with an info file don't automatically get a dependency on texinfo (in 
the current setup).  So this must have been done manually by Jari for some 
reason.  But I think packages with an info file do get an automatic dependency 
on _update-info-dir, so that will bring in the new info package.

In any case, I was thinking the new info package ought to be in the Base 
category anyway, for the same reason that man-db is in Base.  But I don't have 
strong feelings about this.
