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).

Version: 5.1.dfsg.1-4
Closing since the initial inconsistency has been fixed, and the new
behavior is documented and comes from the poor TeX design.
The solution is to use "@.", e.g.
NaN@. Bar.
With 5.1.dfsg.1-4, it has a drawback: kerning is lost. However this
is hardly visible in general, and this problem is now fixed upstream:
