Never noticed.
However,
http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/v4.0.1/Getting-Help.html#Getting-Help
"The entire text of this manual is available from the Octave prompt via
the command doc. In addition, the documentation for individual
user-written functions and variables is also available via the help
command."
"doc" does not need makeinfo as the documentation is already available
preprocessed in
/usr/share/octave/4.0.1/etc/doc-cache
"help" tries to build the documentation on the fly.
It seems an upstream bug that does not check that is already available.
Regards
Marco
