I don't think it has anything to do with formatting of org.texi.  The
issue here is that info/DIR file might be generated when org.texi is
not yet available or not yet up-to-date, such as during bootstrap or
after some change in org.org.  IOW, the reason for this behavior is
that we want to produce info/DIR from the source files, not from the
generated files.
