Because we already provide it elsewhere and contents is the right
subcommand to get information about the contents of a package.  Info is
about package metadata.

If the contents subcommand isn't useful enough, let's fix it, but let's not
add information in one place because it's not being delivered usefully
enough in another.  It just looks haphazard.
