If we must consider this as a bug, then the scriptlets for
texinfo treatment should also be fixed. If admin installs rpms
with --excludedocs:
---------------------------------------------------------------
[root at localhost i386]# LANG=C rpm -ivh units-1.86-5.fc7.i386.rpm --excludedocs
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
