Installed. That is not bad, for example in amsldoc-vn we now have:
	 name amsldoc-vn
	 category Package
	 revision 13530
	+catalogue amslatexdoc-vietnamese
	 shortdesc Vietnamese documentation.
	 longdesc This is a Vietnamese translation of amsldoc, the users' guide
	 longdesc to amsmath.
	 ...
which is something good to know.

Don't know, but some of them, in fact most of them, are in fact not
specific to texlive.

Thanks a lot for all your work, that is of great help!!!!
