IIRC when a package includes an Info manual, we load `info` before
modifying the `Info-directory-list`.  This could be improved to avoid
loading `info`.

The place where this happens in the non-quickstart case is
`package-activate-1` and in `package-quickstart-refresh` you can see
similar code being added to the quickstart file.

IIRC the problem is that depending on whether 
`info-initialize` has already been called or not, we need to add the
directory either to `Info-directory-list` or to
`Info-default-directory-list`.

Patches welcome (and if you need more info about the precise
relationship between those two Info*directory-list vars, I think Eli is
the one who knows all about it).
