Texinfo doesn't overwrite any existing DIR file, it updates it with the
entries required for the manuals shipped with the Texinfo distribution.
If info/DIR doesn't exist, it is created.
This is accomplished by running the `install-info' program which is part
of Texinfo.
I don't know what does Bash do when installed, but I'd be surprised to
learn that it doesn't run `install-info' as well, since this is the
standard GNU practice.
So please describe in more detail how did you arrive at the conclusion
that these two packages overwrite the DIR file produced by others.
