Installs under /usr/share/texinfo and seems to use captive Perl
distributions, maybe we should change that (i.e. move
perl-libintl-perl, perl-Text-Unidecode etc. to their own CPAN
derived package).

More importantly, it installs compiled XS modules into /usr/lib/texinfo.

I need to have a look on what the main GNU/Linux distributions are doing
with this.

It's the same on Debian:

  https://packages.debian.org/stretch/amd64/texinfo/filelist

I haven't checked any other.

WOuld it be possible to cleanly excise those as dependent
packages?

I could certainly do that, but I wouldn't want to unless there's a GNU/Linux model to follow. I don't think Cygwin should use special packaging that no one else uses.
