As a general design principle, it doesn't seem to make sense to
include all GNU manuals in the Emacs distribution merely because they
are useful manuals.  The idea was to relese them separately and have
them installed separately into a combined info tree.

Why is that not working?  What needs to be changed in some GNU/Linux
distros?
