Okay, I have been pounding at this for a couple of days and I'm making some progress, but right now I've hit a snag. I discovered that some packages put symlinks in the info directory pointing to files in that same directory.
So, if I just process every (appropriately named) file in the directory, I'll end up with duplicate entries. This can be avoided with a search data structure like a balanced tree or hash table, but that seems _really_ overkill. OTOH I can't just ignore symlinks, they could point somewhere else (e.g. /usr/share/<package>) and then I'd miss their entries.
