The docstring of `Info-default-directory-list' says:

  ╭────
  │ Although this is a customizable variable, that is mainly for technical
  │ reasons.  Normally, you should either set INFOPATH or customize
  │ `Info-additional-directory-list', rather than changing this variable.
  ╰────

But that's was astonishes me: while setting
`Info-default-directory-list' builds an wrongly ordered
`Info-directory-list', setting `Info-additional-directory-list' had _no_
impact on `Info-directory-list'...

Best regards,
