I think perhaps we should revert 711eb40b9b on the emacs-28 branch, and
then extend info-look on master to add new functionality to allow
postponing the computation of stuff until run-time, so we only compute
the paths for the package that requires it.  That is, if we're looking
for python-mode info, then compute that when the user asks for it.
