Following http://www.gnu.org/server/fsf-html-style-sheet.html, I think that it is wise to offer a document in as many formats as supported. even when running a desktop with XWindow system I typically prefer documentation in text format, and I could explain why. You are free to decide whether users of your GNU/Linux distribution will benefit from including or removing documentation in particular formats, but I believe the OS-neutral tarball should include and install all of them.
