I reviewed the issue. W/ current texinfo I tried to provoke some errors.
1. Renamed the TeX compiler to make sure it is not found any more:
hille@sid:~ $ texi2dvi latex2man.texi
You don't have a working TeX binary (tex) installed anywhere in
your PATH, and texi2dvi cannot proceed without one. If you want to use
this script, you'll need to install TeX (if you don't have it) or change
your PATH or TEX environment variable (if you do). See the --help
output for more details.
For information about obtaining TeX, please see http://tug.org/texlive,
or do a web search for TeX and your operating system or distro.
On Debian you can install a working TeX system with
apt-get install texlive
2. Issued a broken texi file:
Loading texinfo [version 2018-01-09.11]: pdf, fonts, markup, glyphs,
page headings, tables, conditionals, indexing, sectioning, toc,
environments,
defuns, macros, cross references, insertions,

This is `epsf.tex' v2.7.4 <14 February 2011>
) localization, formatting, and turning on texinfo input format.) [1]

What else kind of error situations need to be handled in your opinion?
Thanks,
