"D.8 Conventional Headers for Emacs Libraries" mentions that if the first line becomes too long, a "Local Variables Section"
at the end of the file should be made.
I would appreciate to see some examples on how to do this.

The Emacs manual section about file variables:
49.2.4.1 Specifying File Variables
has a couple of examples (at a first glance, I count four of
them).

Can one access this with
C-h i m elisp i
I do not like that no section numbers show up in info.

I can see only up to 42 on the website. And cannot locate the section with "C-h i m elisp i".

The *Emacs* manual, not the *Elisp* manual ?

In the emacs manual I have "49.2 Package Statuses", then "49.3 Package Installation".
It is quite difficult to get to a specific section. What is an optimal way to search
with "C-h i m elisp" using minibuffer?

To learn how to navigate an info manual, use the info manual; you may
open it like this:
(info "info") <= Type 'C-x C-e' here
To jump directly to the node in the Emacs manual, same:
(info "(emacs)Specifying File Variables") <= Type 'C-x C-e' here

Fine. This requires me to know the exact Title. Can one search through the titles
for matches, giving me possibilities?

Hello, uzibalqa.
You have a different version of the manual from Tomas (or Bruno?), and
you want the Emacs user manual, not the Lisp reference manual.
Anywhere inside the Emacs manual, type "g Specifying File Variables
RET". That will take you to (emacs)Specifying File Variables.

Thank you so very much. Great there is this goto node prompt.
