So that the 'dir' file is created and info manual is made available to
the user. 

,---- [ from package.texi ]
|   If the package has an Info manual, you should distribute the needed
| info files, plus a @file{dir} file made with @command{install-info}.
| @xref{Invoking install-info, Invoking install-info, Invoking
| install-info, texinfo, Texinfo}.
`----

,---- [ from package.el ]
|     ;; Add info node.
|     (when (file-exists-p (expand-file-name "dir" pkg-dir))
|       ;; FIXME: not the friendliest, but simple.
|       (require 'info)
|       (info-initialize)
|       (push pkg-dir Info-directory-list))

I am re-attaching my original patch.
