Texinfo, not texlive.

My suggestion is that you just unconditionally remove info.info from the
files that the Emacs rpm installs. It makes sense for both upstreams to
have it, but if that causes problems for you, I think the better home
for it is the Texinfo rpm. Maybe make the Emacs rpm suggest Texinfo?
(Probably not worth bothering.)
