Tramp's configure tries to be as standard conform as possible. From
the "GNU coding standards, last updated January 1, 2005":

`infodir'
     The directory for installing the Info files for this package.  By
     default, it should be `/usr/local/share/info', but it should be
     written as `$(datarootdir)/info'.  (If you are using Autoconf,
     write it as [EMAIL PROTECTED]@'.)  `infodir' is separate from `docdir' for
     compatibility with existing practice.

(Replace /usr/local with $prefix in our case).

Tramp checks the existence of the potential info directories. If
xxx/share/info does not exist, it would check xxx/info as next candidate.

Nevertheless, if you apply "--infodir=\$prefix/info" during configure
it should be as desired.
