  Just to settle the matter, the late Bernard Gaulle's french package
sets a rather standard 2/3 default ... don't know what you've finally
chosen in TeXinfo.

  In the GUTenberg private archives, I even found 15-year old e-mails
where Bernard mentioned he tried \lefthyphenmin=3 for a while, but
wasn't satisfied with the result.
