You see that I'm unfamiliar with the texinfo source, I did
not know that it has its own version of strdup. ;-)

Fine with me, but consider the possibility that a few people
might have actually relied on the "feature" that the locale
settings changed the translation of keywords; they may now
need to test for the texinfo version.  Mentioning it in
NEWS.Debian seems appropiate.

Will this patch also be applied upstream?

Thank you very much,
