As far as I see only the emacs and guile packages are doing this kind
of subdirs by now, so I guess that is safe.

I don't think that this is necessary.

Hmmm, I am packaging 6.1 now, but this will take some time.
I see two options:
- I prepare a version of 6.0 (not the one that I just uploaded, that was
for a different fix), that removes the info.info already (although
6.0 still ships the file), and upload soon (can be any time now).
Then you are free to do whatever you want at your own pace.
- Or, I continue packaging 6.1 (which is in pretest ATM) and only
remove the info.info when I upload 6.1, but this would mean that you
have to wait with your emacs changes.
I am fine with both, just let me know what you prefer
All the best
Norbert
