Package: bash
Version: 5.0~alpha1-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

texi2html is deprecated. Removing the build dependency does not change
the bash-doc package content, I verified it with diffoscope. I think
it's already using makeinfo, which is the suggested alternative:

https://wiki.debian.org/Texi2htmlTransition

Upstream's pkg-config file includes 2 flags that Lintian doesn't like,
but I think they are valid as it's for building loadable modules.

Inlined a patch to fix both for 5.0, please kindly consider applying
it.

Thank you!
