You can't. But if you want to you can install the texinfo package at
any time and all registrations will be correct, regardless of the
install time of texinfo.

It is easiest to do it automatically this way. The CAS script could
peek into it and don't register it. But I see no real problem with
this (maybe another 99% issue ;-)
