It was originally on a separate file, but I thought, and still think, that it should be in info.el. I don't see any significance in the fact that this will be used for manuals that come with Emacs, as those are quite numerous. E.g., on my system, Emacs manuals are about 1/4th of all the installed manuals, and I have a lot of Info manuals other than Emacs and no Info manuals that come with ELPA packages.
