    I always considered it wrong to have `make install' run
    `install-info'.

It's the right thing to do, because the idea of `install'
is to do all these things.

      Running `install-info' as part of `make install' might have
    made sense when package managers were infrequent, but now it doesn't.

`install' has nothing to do with any kind of package manager.
Its purpose is to install a package directly.  If you want to
work with a package manager, you should not run `install'.
