It has to be. By default: or do you have *no* choice of packages to  
install? (If this is true, then the dir file(s) can be read-only.)

The dir files in the info directories are the important ones. The  
installation process should invoke install-info to include an entry  
for each info file to be installed. This step can fail because a  
modern install-info requests a particular format of the lines that  
are to be included in the dir file. I've seen that install-info did  
not work when the info file did not tell into which section the entry  
belongs.
