Bug#981682: vcdimager: drop unused Build-Depends: texinfo
Source: vcdimager
Version: 2.0.1+dfsg-4
Tags: patch
User: helmutg@debian.org
Usertags: rebootstrap
vcdimager participates in dependency loops relevant to architecture
bootstrap. Instead of looking into such a difficult problem, I looked
into easily droppable dependencies and noticed that texinfo is no longer
used. This may be an artifact of a broken docs/Makefile.am that assigns
EXTRA_DIST twice. In effect, it does not build any texinfo documentation
nor install it. Please consider applying the attached patch to drop the
texinfo dependency. Alternatively, build the documentation.
