Some pre/post installation stuff seems needed.
What about install-info, for example? Maintaining
$(infodir)/dir seems not possible by just using
$ tar -zxvf package_name.tgz
in a dedicated dir in /packages/
I have little experience in non-source-based
installations so please excuse my ignorance.

How would source code be installed in this situation?
Would the following or something similar work?
$ tar -zxvf my_program.tar.gz
$ cd my_program/
$ ./configure --prefix=/packages/my_program
$ make
$ make install
In this case I'd have a source-based package manager
already available.
