Maybe Emacs should install into /usr/info if it has a dir file in it. Should Texinfo (and Emacs) install into /usr/share/info rather than /usr/info? It is a while ago that I installed texinfo-4.2, but if I remember well I might have overridden the place Texinfo got installed, which probably explain the inconsistency. Hence, the inconsistency is probably not a problem with texinfo. That is good news, but we still have the question of /usr/share/info vs /usr/info. Which is a better default?
