I see your intention now. The description of texlive really
states clearly that "meta package pulling in all components of
TeX Live". But is there no chance that we provide a meta
package which pulling not all but almost all components of
TeXlive, i.e. pulling only one of texlive-doc-* and one of
texlive-lang-* ? This might be what a user wants in fact.

Yes, it is reasonable. Both polish latex and japanese ptex
use the same name "platex" so they cause conflicts sometimes.
BTW, (japanese) ptex means "P"ublishing (quality) TeX -> pTeX

I should investigate an issue before answering your question.
I don't know yet if ptex runs correctly under TeXlive or not.
I suspect only very basic part of TeXlive will be sufficient
for pTeX but not sure yet.
