I'd prefer not to add a special case like this.  Instead try this:

        if WANT_FOO
        info_TEXINFOS = foo.texi
        else
        noinst_TEXINFOS = foo.texi
        endif

Unfortunately this doesn't work.  Automake doesn't anticipate someone
not wanting to install their texinfo.

Could you submit a PR for this?

Texinfo support lags behind some of the other primaries because it is
implemented specially :-(.  So dist_ and nodist_ prefixes also don't
work there.
