I typed the earlier mail from memory. This is the sequence that package
manager uses:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
      (require 'info)
      (info-initialize)
      (push pkg-dir Info-directory-list)
#+end_src

The first two lines were missing in my earlier post.

Furthermore, one can use the following to cherry pick the info file of
interest:

C-u M-x info RET doc/org
