Where are the images in info gone?

I read:

make help

  info            build Info documentation with images
  install-info    install Info documentation with images

But when I use make info and make install-info, I get total crap pages
like

    File: lilypond-notation.info,  Node: Pitches,  Next: Rhythms,  Up: Musical 
notation

    1.1 Pitches
    ===========

    [[image of music]]
       This section discusses how to specify the pitch of notes.  There are
    three steps to this process: input, modification, and output.

    * Menu:

    * Writing pitches::
    * Changing multiple pitches::
    * Displaying pitches::
    * Note heads::


The info pages are close to useless without the images.  So what gives?
Why have the images been removed?

I read

commit 6e8293f5eef359de1097ef7e3a183fd3ac630fa7

    Copy images as part of the install-info make target
    
    By default, install-info uses a symlink to html documentation for
    included images. This results in broken links unless the user also runs
    make install-WWW, which is unlikely since there is already a target for
    exactly that combination: install-doc.
    
    Update install-info to copy images, but keep the old behaviour when
    install-doc is run (because the symlink will work in that case and there
    is no need to copy duplicate images).
    
    Closes #6110

but in fact neither install-info nor install-doc any longer appear to
generate info files referencing images.
