In (info "(elisp) Multi-file Packages"):

  If the content directory contains a file named ‘dir’, this is assumed
  to be an Info directory file made with ‘install-info’.  *Note Invoking
  install-info: (texinfo)Invoking install-info.  The relevant Info files
  should also be present in the content directory.  In this case, Emacs
  will automatically add the content directory to ‘Info-directory-list’
  when the package is activated.

In README of the `elpa' branch:

  ** To add a package:
  [...]
  *** Add a multi-file package as a directory, packages/NAME.
  *** Commit your changes the usual way ("git add", "git commit", etc).

AIUI you don't need to create the tar file.
