I'm not sure I understand your suggestion. Can you give an example? What confuses me is the ``one of the menu entries'' part. It sounds like you suggest to have a single menu entry followed by an alphabetical listing of the packages. If so, that listing will be long, and without links to the relevant menu entries, which the reader can follow, it would be almost useless. The reason I doubt such an alphabetic listing will be of marginal utility is that Info readers already have features which should make that listing unnecessary. For example, typing "m a" and then hitting TAB twice should pop up a list of all menu entries which begin with `a' or `A'. That's why I asked in this thread about the problems the alphabetical listing is supposed to solve.
