[help-texinfo] Gentoo Linux some `Info' manuals missing index

Running Gentoo Linux

I've noticed some items on the Info menu screen, for example `cvs' do
not have an Index generated for the use of `index' search `i'.

I'm using the emacs info reader, not the standalone.

Doing C-h i m cvs <RET> Lands me at the top Node of cvs manual, but if
I type `i' to ask for an `index' search I'm told `no index'

How can I generate that index from the sources.. or from this info
file?

I see and entry called `index' at the bottom of the cvs topnode page
and it links to an index but apparently this isn't the one that allows
the `index' search.

Information from the first page for `cvs'
