I would say, yes, texlive-base-doc, because it is the doc package for
texlive-base (or probably for the arch: all and arch: any packages with
base in their name).  It is not so much the basis of all texlive
documentation.

Here, I would take descriptive names - you wouldn't want to change the
package name if cjk starts supporting an additional language.  But as
for arabic, isn't that *one* language?  I'm not familiar with language
vs. country codes, but I found a list of ISO 639 2- and 3-letter
lanugage codes, where 'AR' or 'ara' stands for arabic.  And the
two-letter list is missing some languages with TeX support, e.g. Sorbian
(wen).

Why not texlive-bin-* in this case, if it fits better to the content?
