Details
Octave uses texinfo to generate documentation at the
commandline for functions. If you forgot some detail of how
the plot function worked, you can type "> help plot" to
see plot's usage information. It would be nice if texinfo
was included as a dependency so that this would work.

would you be happy with a note when installing/updating that you
need texinfo for help?

That would be fine. I also noticed that the plot command depends
on gnuplot.
