There is no more this grub binary with grub2.
You have to use grub-install now to install it, which even with GRUB
Legacy was the prefered way.
And you can use optionally use grub-mkconfig to generate a grub.cfg for
you.

The info docs are still mostly just copied from GRUB Legacy.
Anyway do you have makeinfo installed?
In Debian it's in the texinfo package.
Without it you won't get the info docs.

No, we only use (currently) $prefix/bin and $prefix/sbin for the tools.
