I'm not able to reproduce this behavior with either dpkg 1.10.28 or
1.13.18

Executing the following command:
install-info --infodir=/tmp /usr/info/coreutils.info.gz
Installed created a dir file in /tmp and did not touched the dir file from
/usr/share/info/

Can you try with a recent version?
(or indicate what command fails)

This is still true. I will update the man page. Thanks.
