Total paper weight and certainly the first thing, I'll exclude from jumpstarts. There is no need, to have this useless overhead. If one compiles and installs GNU-Software with info stuff, the make install takes care of creating/updateing the right dir file (of course, if install-info is not available, there is no harm - one can still update the dir files automatically, when one decides to install install-info ...). If one installs a package, the package scripts should take care of creating/updateing the approriate dir file, which is of course very easy and causing much less trouble (actually no), than e.g. a SUNWsndm patch ... Many Linux distros have proofen this for years ... Please don't bother us with another scrollkeeper like nightmare!
