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.
