Problems with "info autoconf" and similar

Hi,
  according to my experience, people who run "info autoconf" expect
to get the Autoconf manual, not "autoconf Invocation".
Similarly for "info automake" or "info find".

Could the behaviour of the info reader be changed somehow to
eliminate these frustrations?

Thank you in advance for any help,
        Stepan

PS:
Two suggestions, any of them would solve the problem:

1) the dir items named "foo Invocation" would be used only if no
other item matches, unless --usage was given.

2) if there is a "foo.info" file available in the info path, it would
be preferred to what is specified in the dir file.
