I think I get it: that was a way to make sure these image files are
copied to the info/ directory, where the manuals are.

But in that case, the rules should be modified so that the manuals
would not depend on these copied images, but on their sources.  And
the elisp.info rule should explicitly copy the image files to
$(buildinfodir).
