Any of the 23 normal, minor, or wishlist bugs, not marked "forwarded to upstream" on
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?which=pkg&data=texinfo&archive=no&version=&dist=unstable

The 4th and 7th are (or rather were?)  probably a Debian issue, the
others under "normal" all look like upstream problems.  It would have
been Josip's responsibility to contact you (or to orphan the package)

I meant "if it turns out that the Debian package "texlive-texinfo" is in
a better shape than the current Debian "texinfo" package ..."
