Package: texinfo

This package fails its autopkgtest checks with Perl 5.42 (currently
in experimental.)

Testsuite summary for GNU Texinfo 7.2
============================================================================
# TOTAL: 125
# PASS: 7
# SKIP: 40
# XFAIL: 0
# FAIL: 78
# XPASS: 0
# ERROR: 0
I managed to reproduce this locally, and the reason is these new warnings:
Possible precedence problem between ! and string eq at
../../tp/Texinfo/Convert/Converter.pm line 389.
Possible precedence problem between ! and string eq at
../../tp/Texinfo/Convert/LaTeX.pm line 1088.
Patch attached, this fixes it for me.
If you want to test changes against Perl 5.42 in experimental and run
into uninstallability problems, there is a test repository of rebuilt
Debian sid packages for amd64 available at <https://perl.debian.net/>.
