Join them in a current Emacs-common-doc package if they really are
identical. Including the manpages for etags and ctags will be good too.

Nothing to do without breaking everything. IMHO, the good question is
what to do with ELisp file in text format. I suggest to distribute binary
for both emacs and xemacs (as I will do with auctex) and then having a
common place for elisp files or a way to ask the version before
installing at the right place and updating the package.list file. Having
a common site-lisp could be good too, IMHO.
