I didn't run into this problem.  Let me try again.  :-)

Just so that you know, I, as a Debian developer, never run
"make -f debian/rules".  I use debuild.  :-)  Check the updated
Debian information in INSTALL.txt.

Yes, I run into this problem from time to time.  Fortunately, not with
1.3.128.  Han-wen and Jan, as you can see here, for some reasons, make's
internal .texi -> .info rule was not overriden.  It really puzzles me too:
sometimes this internal (or implicit?) rule was overriden, as you have
intended in your Makefiles, but sometimes it doesn't quite work.  I don't
know what's going on.  :-)
