Concerning texdoc, I hope it will provide some kind of language
preferences indeed, but in my plans it would be based on information
borrowed from the Catalogue via the texlive.tlpbd file, so the texmf-doc
tree won't probably be useful here.

I tend to prefer merging it, just for the sake of simplification.
