how to view the texinfo for a package |

Hi,
Some forge packages (very few actually) ship a .info manual which gets
installed with the package.
The examples that I could find are odepkg (which I am trying to fix) and
communtications.
In the communications package the manual is installed as
<packages home>/communications-<version number>/doc/comms.info
but I cannot find a way to visualize it within Octave, I tried the following
doc communications
doc comms
doc comms.info
but none of them seems to work.
The current version of odepkg installs the info manual as
<packages home>/odepkg-<version number>/doc.info
and the only way I found to access it in Octave was to type
doc doc.info
but this isn't really easy to find out and does not really seem
the right way to go.
My question is:
is the ability of packages to offer an info manual a supported feature of the
Octave package manager?
if it is, what is the expected way to access it?
if it isn't, does it really make sense to ship such manual with those packages?
thanks,
c.
