texinfo-5.0 in-place upgrade doesn't symlink makeinfo

Please CC me if you wish to reply, I'm not subscribed.

 I've just done an in-place upgrade of texinfo to test some possible
fixes for a different package.  Makeinfo used to be a separate
program, and the attempt to symlink it to texi2any failed:

make  install-exec-hook
make[4]: Entering directory `/scratch/working/texinfo-5.0/tp'
ln -s texi2any /usr/bin/makeinfo
ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘/usr/bin/makeinfo’: File exists
make[4]: [install-exec-hook] Error 1 (ignored)
make[4]: Leaving directory `/scratch/working/texinfo-5.0/tp'

 For me, using ln -sf afterwards solved it and makinfo --version now
reports 5.0 instead of the 4.13 it was still showing after the
install.

 OK, updating directly over the old version is not that common
nowadays, but perhaps this is worth fixing ?
