thank you for that patch.
Does it mean that info.texi will be delivered by Emacs instead of texlive?
At the begging of that "bug" was mentioned that info.texi should be part 
of texlive.

I am little bit confused what is final solution.

From last messages of that thread is seen that info.texi will be part 
of emacs package definitelly, right?

S pozdravem / Best regards
