The automakeVER packages generate Makefile.in files that, by default, 
include rules for generating .info files using texinfo.  So, it's not 
that automakeVER itself requires texinfo at runtime, but that the output 
files created when using automakeVER require it.

OTOH, automake(wrapper), libtoolVER, and gettext-devel can probably have 
that dependency removed.
