I think the situation is that /usr/share/info/dir is created if 
permissions allow it. A package build using root would obviously allow 
it, but so would a package build as a regular user using a buildroot.

I think that the only reason that this is cropping up now is that 
rpmbuild's checks for unpackaged files have been turned on under mock.
