You're apparently not familiar with the history of these packages.
Perhaps Karl or Herbert could enlighten you off-line.

Actually, I wasn't complaining about what I thought was an
understandable human error but about why it wasn't being fixed. I didn't
know then that the choice is made dynamically by an algorithm, which
does explain why it isn't an *immediate* fix. Thank you. 

As for the naming of files, note the paths in the following, which are
the first two choices considered by texdoc libertine:

  texmf-dist/doc/fonts/libertineotf/libertine.pdf
  texmf-dist/doc/fonts/libertine/README

Currently texdoc doesn't choose only from files actually in the package.

Best,
