It is already there. I have a link
/usr/share/texmf-texlive/doc -> ../doc/texlive-doc
BUT: Unfortunately that stupid texdoc does NOT work with links. I got
already a bug report. The problem is that texdoc makes a find -type f,
which just breaks. Bad.

You mean that we do not ship the original .tex files in the binary deb.
Hmm. Maybe I can convince texlive upstream to do this change, but I am
not sure, and I don't want to sort it out by hand. Especially since some
source files of the documentation are also source files of the sty/tex
files etc.
