Yes, the GNU Coding Standards even say:
GNU distributions usually contain some files which are not
source files—for example, Info files, and the output from
Autoconf, Automake, Bison or Flex.
For mpfr4, the test is failing just because the makeinfo version
is now newer in Debian:
--- mpfr4-4.2.0.orig/doc/mpfr.info
+++ mpfr4-4.2.0/doc/mpfr.info
@@ -1,4 +1,4 @@
-This is mpfr.info, produced by makeinfo version 6.8 from mpfr.texi.
+This is mpfr.info, produced by makeinfo version 7.0.3 from mpfr.texi.
This manual documents how to install and use the Multiple Precision
Floating-Point Reliable Library, version 4.2.0.
