OTOH, do all those other packages really need texinfo at *runtime*? autoconf2.5, automake1.10, automake1.4, automake1.5, automake1.6, automake1.7, automake1.8, automake1.9, cygwin-doc, gettext-devel, libtool1.5, octave, _update-info-dir
The automakeVER packages generate Makefile.in files that, by default, include rules for generating .info files using texinfo. So, it's not that automakeVER itself requires texinfo at runtime, but that the output files created when using automakeVER require it.
OTOH, automake(wrapper), libtoolVER, and gettext-devel can probably have that dependency removed.
