How do you make sure that the different Emacs installations have access
to the info files of the "add-on packages"?

If you are talking about the lisp files not being put below the prefix
then you should use --with-lispdir in addition to --prefix.  IIRC the
configure script will put the lisp files into a directory in the
load-path of Emacs.  If it cannot find such a directory below the given
prefix, another available one is chosen.
