Info-path is internal to emacs with standard-values: /usr/info or 
/usr/local/ibfo
but you ofcourse can set your own.
like:
(setq Info-directory-info-list '(cons ("/usr/info/" "/var/lib/dpkg/info/")))
should be able to find it.

But mostly I just dump progname.info files in /usr/local/info 
and edit the "dir" file manually to get de main-items in the top-level. 

info info  should enlighten much of this kind of trickery.
