Bug#429701: texinfo: inconsistency concerning the number of spaces after a period

[Vincent Lefevre <vincent@vinc17.org>]

Package: texinfo
Version: 4.8.dfsg.1-6
Severity: minor

makeinfo yields sometimes a single space and sometimes two spaces after
a period. For instance, consider a test.texi file containing:

Foo. Bar.

Foo.
Bar.

"makeinfo test.texi" generates a test.info file containing:

   Foo. Bar.

   Foo.  Bar.

(a single space in the first case, two spaces in the second case).
