could be some reasons:
is info-path correct in your .emacs 
are the Tc*.info files in that info-dir
have you edited .../info/dir file qnd put in the correct entries there.

I never had any such "info-path" variable in my .emacs and still have some
info pages showing at M-x info, and realy don't now if such variable exists
as I couldn't find what it is set to when I M-x info-path which shows it
does not exist.

the directory where the tcl info stuff are is /var/lib/dpkg/info/*

Info-path is internal to emacs with standard-values: /usr/info or /usr/local/ibfo
but you ofcourse can set your own.
like:
(setq Info-directory-info-list '(cons ("/usr/info/" "/var/lib/dpkg/info/")))
should be able to find it.

But mostly I just dump progname.info files in /usr/local/info 
and edit the "dir" file manually to get de main-items in the top-level. 

info info  should enlighten much of this kind of trickery.

I doubt that the files in this directory are info files created from  
texinfo files. The files probably mean only something for the Debian  
package management ...
