I hadn't noticed the global 'dir' before. So, yes,
INFOPATH=$GUIX_PROFILE/share/info
is enough to make everything work. But is there a good reason not
to include this setting in $GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile ?

The standalone reader does find everything. Even the one from my basic
Debian install finds the Guix manual, although I can't say how.
