Alright. I'll try to do that in the next update cycle or, if lacking the
time, remove the dependency on texinfo.

Subsidiary question: if there is a -doc package for gdb should it
depend on gdb itself (the run-time)? Or we can consider that if somebody
installs this package is to read the doc and not necessarily to execute
gdb (which in my opinion is dumb but it's an use case to consider).
