The right way to deal with this is to convert to texinfo first and then
use makeinfo to produce info text files.

The reason I think this is TRT is that texinfo format it (just? almost?)
as rich as DocBook, so there should be no information loss in that
conversion, and the makeinfo process of texinfo->text conversion is
very well thought through, widely tested and used, and known to work.
