Because they do different things? The GNU version takes the
info files and installs them in the proper place, and tells the
installer to edit the dir file manually.
Ours does not move files around (since the package maintainer
has already done that, it just manages the dir file.
Not only are the interfaces different, *they do different things*.
Never the twain shall meet.
