My feeling is we want to make it as easy as possible for users to find
the docs they need. Adding lots of different locations really is
counter to that desire, and we should strive to keep docs in one
location.

However If we're going down the /usr/share/texmf/doc route, I guess we
could just have a symlink from /usr/share/doc/tex to
/usr/share/texmf/doc as a best of both worlds fix.
