app-editors/emacs-cvs-22.0.9999-r8 installs its info files to the directory /usr/share/info/emacs-22/, but there's no dir file in it. So all the emacs docs are not listed in the directory index and only accessible if you open the info file directly.
There is one here...emerge --info and emerge -pv emacs-cvs please

Strange! After I remerged emacs-cvs-22.0.9999-r8 the dir file suddenly appeared. Maybe this was an upgrading issue, because I emerged the new ebuild with emacs-cvs-22.0.9999-r6 installed, or maybe the eselect module was not in effect at this time...

It should be recreated by Portage before merging...eselect is called for the first time after merging. That is the point I think.
Portage calls install-info only for directories in INFOPATH. So if for some reason the emacs-22 subdir is not in the list at that moment, the dir file will not be recreated. Maybe we should explicitely call install-info in pkg_postinst?
The emacs-22 subdir is not in the INFOPATH when upgrading, because all ebuilds < 22.0.9999-r8 use subdirs like 22.0.96 (the slot). If install-info in pkg_postinst would solve that issue, I'd vote for it. Ah, and I've seen that the new ebuild adds the emacs-22 subdir to the INFOPATH in /etc/env.d/50emacs. Till now users had to do that in their own init files to have emacs packages listed in the top info node. Nice!
