Surely the actual relevant change is only to add ${MKDIR_P} ${srcdir}/info, which could easily have been applied to emacs-24, only it's mixed in with unrelated performance improvements? And the "wildcards" thing is only relevant if you've deleted every texi file from doc/misc (which even Debian doesn't do)? Similar constructs have been used for years in eg lisp/Makefile.in lisptagsfiles etc.
