Tramp's configure tries to be as standard conform as possible. From
the "GNU coding standards, last updated January 1, 2005":
`infodir'
The directory for installing the Info files for this package. By
default, it should be `/usr/local/share/info', but it should be
written as `$(datarootdir)/info'. (If you are using Autoconf,
write it as address@hidden@'.) `infodir' is separate from `docdir' for
compatibility with existing practice.
(Replace /usr/local with $prefix in our case).

Tramp checks the existence of the potential info directories. If
xxx/share/info does not exist, it would check xxx/info as next candidate.
Nevertheless, if you apply "--infodir=\$prefix/info" during configure
it should be as desired.
