Comment (by raimue):

 Adding a `texlive-*` dependency to texinfo is quite heavy, especially when
 most dependents do not seem to need it. Maintainers of dependent ports
 should evaluate whether building documentation as DVI/PDF is actually
 useful. If so, add appropriate dependencies, otherwise disable building
 DVI/PDF.
