No. THere will be no texinfo format, as suggested by Thomas Esser and
Karl Berry. texi2* use the (pdf)tex binaries as is without the format.

Added changelog entry:
* New maintainer: Taking over from Josip Rodin <joy-packages@debian.org>

* Acknowledge previous NMU (Closes: #267497, #259280)
New packages are on tug.org (in 10min from now)
