 That might be something upstream should do, but it’s exactly what we
 //don’t// want. [[RepeatableBuilds|We don’t want ports to build
 differently]] based on whether some external program is present or absent.

 The fact remains that the `texinfo` port installs a script that requires
 TeX but doesn’t have a dependency on TeX. This should be fixed.
