Yes, but the compressing of info pages is only on the master branch. There is no automatic removing of the dir file but that would require hard-coding a file name into makepkg which I am not too sure about...

I don't exaclty know how you can do it with your KISS way, but we have a (you can call it distro-specific) install macro that already does stuff like removing perl's perllocal.pod/.packlist files, etc. That macro takes care of removing such info dirs as well.
