If I remember correctly there was an X11 info browser that used the original .texi files for prettier info browsing. Obviously it is not packaged for Debian because Debian does not ship with .texi files installed. I forget the name of the info browser concerned. Two questions, where would the texi source go? Somewhere in /usr/share? and has the split of makeinfo from tetex been completed? If info pages are generated on the fly, or at least at install time, as I think this proposal is suggesting, the we need makeinfo available, and I am not sure people would want to have the whole of tetex installed just to read an info page. But then I suppose the same could be argued about man and groff. -- I consume, therefore I am
