I am not sure what a translator is. I assume it's
something that merges all /packages/*/info dirs into
one single view of a /info or /usr/info directory.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
If this translator can treat /packages/*/info
directories as a special case, and thus knows about
running install-info to correctly merge the dirs file,
then that's ok.
