texlive-collection-texinfo is about to become obsolete

- Subject: texlive-collection-texinfo is about to become obsolete
The package texlive-collection-texinfo is currently required by the
following five packages:
emacs-auctex (maintained by me)
lyx (orphaned)
tetex-base (obsolete, maintained by me)
tetex-extra (obsolete, maintained by me)
tetex-tiny (obsolete, maintained by me)
I can't think of any reason why it should be required by any of these
packages. (In the case of the packages maintained by me, the
requirement was there before I took over as maintainer.) Moreover, due
to upstream reorganization, the tiny texlive-collection-texinfo is going
to become obsolete in TeX Live 2013, with its contents absorbed by the
much bigger texlive-collection-plainextra.
Unless someone (Yaakov?) knows of a good reason for the requirement, I
think it should be removed from all five packages listed above.
Thanks.
Ken
