wget2 fails to build from source in unstable. A build ends with:

| /bin/bash /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/build-aux/missing makeinfo --force -o ./wget2.info 
./wget2.texi
| /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/build-aux/missing: line 81: makeinfo: command not found
| WARNING: 'makeinfo' is missing on your system.
|          You should only need it if you modified a '.texi' file, or
|          any other file indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual.
|          You might want to install the Texinfo package:
|          <http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/>
|          The spurious makeinfo call might also be the consequence of
|          using a buggy 'make' (AIX, DU, IRIX), in which case you might
|          want to install GNU make:
|          <http://www.gnu.org/software/make/>
| make[3]: *** [Makefile:1719: wget2.stamp] Error 127
| make[3]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/docs'
| make[2]: *** [Makefile:1579: all-recursive] Error 1
| make[2]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>'
| make[1]: *** [Makefile:1488: all] Error 2
| make[1]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>'
| make: *** [debian/rules:43: build-stamp] Error 2
| dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build subprocess returned exit status 2

This is also reproduced by crossqa, but not yet reproduced by
reproducible builds, so it likely is a fairly recent regression.

I suppose that this is a result of gnulib having dropped its dependency
on texinfo, so now wget2 needs to depend on texinfo itself.
