Huh?  Where do you get that idea?  I do not agree.  I wouldn't have
submitted the PR in the first place if I thought it was "Not a problem".

It has been a problem in the past and it _will_ inevitably be a problem
again in the future!

The "make install" phase does trigger "make info"!  This may rebuild
files, and I for one sure as heck don't want those files to be built by
the user running "make install" -- indeed I want them built, if
necessary, during "make build"!

The whole purpose of pkgsrc is to document how to build and maintain
third-party software for the various platforms supported in pkgsrc.  The
fact that "make info" needs to be run during "make build", _not_ during
"make install" is an important thing to document, regardless of whether
it actually does anything for some given copy of the source distribution.
