 Hi, there are a vast range of TeX documention provided by
 texlive-doc-en and related packages.

 It would be handy if some (if not all systematically) could be
 registered with Debian's doc-base (not texlive-doc-base!) so that it's
 easier to get at the docs using tools like dhelp.

 I guess the equivalent should be done for the other texlive-doc-*
 packages.

I agree with you, but doing this would be a large amount of work and
won't happen in the forseeable future, due to lack of people working on
the TeX packages.

Registering /usr/share/doc/texlive-doc-en/english/catalogue/index.html, 
for example, would be a good start since it would provide access to docs
for all the TeX packages available.

More comprehensively, it would be good to create and register a top
level index page (e.g. /usr/share/doc/texlive-doc-en/english/index.html) 
which contains links to all the other index.html pages provided by
texlive-doc-en.

I guess the equivalent should be done for the other texlive-doc-*
packages.

Thanks, Drew.
