Home made problem?

AFAICT during build the command texi2info is called to display its own
help, which is converted later using help2man. Due to
debian/patches/20_warn_missing_tex.dpatch texi2dvi complains if there
is no TeX system installed instead of displaying its help. No, there
doesn't seem to be a TeX system in the auto builder -> bang!!

The problem BTW hits the info page too. Solutions? Declare
texlive-base-bin as B-D?  <gd&r>
