Your info file should have something like this near the top:

INFO-DIR-SECTION Texinfo documentation system
START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY
* Info: (info).                 Documentation browsing system.
END-INFO-DIR-ENTRY

In Texinfo sources, you'd write that like this:

@dircategory Texinfo documentation system
@direntry
* Info: (info).                 Documentation browsing system.
@end direntry

It's either that or having to specify loads of command line options to
install-info.
