Follow-up Comment #3, bug #68500 (group groff): [comment #2 comment #2:] > You want to add _yet another_ so that we can make a _build-time_ > decision regarding whether we inject 3 Texinfo commands?
No, I want the build to not fail just because the system lacks a package whose
sole purpose is to make a prettier version of a diagram that can (and has for
a long time) be presented another way.

Yes. Similarly, a person building from the repo shouldn't be required to
install a package just to achieve some cosmetic icing for seven lines out of
the tens of thousands in the manual.
The new diagram is nice, but it's not so nice it should erect a new hoop to
jump through just to get a successful build, _especially_ when we have a
simple alternative rendering that communicates the same information.
