Hello,

It appears the 'info-dir-file' profile hook procedure doesn't process
all the entries as can be found with:

$ guix shell --pure grep emacs info-reader rottlog
[env]$ grep rottlog $GUIX_ENVIRONMENT/share/info/dir

[env]$ emacs -> C-h i m rottlog RET -> no match
[env]$ info rottlog -> displays manual

From the above we can tell the 'dir' file generated by 'info-dir-file'
hasn't registered an entry for rottlog, even though it's in INFOPATH.

Fixed with commit 3511ad2857.  The issue had to do with the lack of a
Texinfo 'direntry' in the rot[t]log info manual.

I've also removed the --silent option in the info-dir-file profile hook,
which should hint us at such problems in the future, when building
profiles verbosely.

Closing.
