In case of texinfo it's enough that one thing depends on install-info
and it is necessary.
With libs it's needed so that any up triggers work.

Not everything but texinfo is optional to basesystem. And there's quite
a few spells that have a ncurses dependency and there's probably a lot
more that don't have it.
