when installing Maxima out of the box is an upstream bug, I guess.
> I had a long conversation with David Kirkby when I introduced the
"touch" trick way back when the problem appeared, I am not sure it is all
on trac but at the time upstream was a bit confused that there was a
problem. It was like they didn't really use the "install" target.
There is indeed a long discussion about this on #10773. I don't know
precisely why the "touch" trick stopped working; perhaps `make` clobbers
some dependencies of `maxima.info`. Anyway, the current fix seems to work
as well.
