That's the hyperref way. \pdfinfo is a more general command.

One big problem (which was my case, IIRC) is that one may use \pdfinfo
and add \usepackage{hyperref} later. It is not normal that a package
silently breaks a LaTeX file. If the \pdfinfo command is not supported,
it should be redefined by hyperref to yield an error.

I've just reported a bug upstream.
