My idea was to specify both. Why should we cater so much to non-GNU systems? The users of BSD can install the Info manual as well, can they not? > But that's just one example.

The stand-alone Info reader that is part of the Texinfo package does that since time immemoriam. > Try grepping for "info pages" in our sources. Those places should be corrected.
