Why not keep host-texinfo around, even if it is not used by any
package which is included with buildroot ?

It would be useful to people maintaining their own packages within
buildroot, now or in the future, where it's easier for them to add the
dependency rather than figure out how/where to patch the package to
prevent it from building documentation.
