Instead of changing makefile, you should try to override install-info
path when you call make:

bash% make INSTALL_INFO_DIR=/usr/sbin/install-info install-info

Or change timestamp of makefile.dep after modifying makefile.

If you have added something in the makefile, then different files
might be placed in the library or different programs might be built.
But perhaps we should remove automatic generation of dependencies and
only rebuild them on demand.

What does 'install-info --version' says.  Because Debian has its own
incompatible install-info we should test that install-info is correct
one from GNU texinfo package.
