Whenever the timestamp changes on one of those directories, the dir
file should be regenerated just before emerge exits.  You'll get a
message like this:

* Regenerating GNU info directory index...

Previously, a file named dir.bz2 would have remained untouched when
the dir file was generated, but in portage-2.1.2-r6 the dir.bz2 will
be renamed to dir.bz2.old (that's what it has always done with the
dir.gz files).
