Why not? This particular example is produced from @dfn in Texinfo,
which should emphasize its argument. In the printed version
"packages" is typeset in slanted typeface (and without the quotes).
> There is no additional emphasis on quotations in books.
But we are not talking about books, are we? We are talking about Info
manuals, which are mostly documentation of software.
