Morfologik's automata don't really require the .info file -- this file contains additional metadata required for add-on applications (such as language tool) and for "decoding" information stored in the automaton. You can, in fact, dump the content of any automaton file directly without any .info file, but this will show you the exact automaton entries.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that Morfologik is a low-level tool. Downstream packages, such as LT, should handle sanity checks by verifying if all required files are in place and reporting a more appropriate message if they're not.
