The pages come from the packages themselves (like manpages for single
commands do usually not live in separate packages):

[...]
ogra at styx:~$ dpkg -S /usr/bin/rm
coreutils: /usr/bin/rm
ogra at styx:~$ dpkg -L coreutils|grep info
/usr/share/info
/usr/share/info/coreutils.info.gz
[...]

I think shipping info pages is not really common anymore though ...
