Or just add an override of the check? The issue has been there for
a long time and CSWtexinfo is the correct package. It would be
most useful to just override the test and say "texinfo is the
correct package".

Umh.... no. Given the size of the package it will take 3-4 weeks
to finish (Peter: right?) and I fixed the bug due to user request
on the same day he reported the bug. It would be bad to stall now
for "technical" reasons.
