I never use doc-base, therefore I didn't touch this so far, sorry.

The other alternative would be to only register teTeX's base documents,
or should we say "documentation entry points", namely
/usr/share/texmf/doc/index.html,
/usr/share/texmf/doc/helpindex.html,
/usr/share/texmf/doc/texdoc.php, and
/usr/share/texmf/doc/tetex/TETEXDOC.pdf.gz?
But *if* we go for registering most of the documents, this probably
means looking at them an checking whether they are suitable as user
documentation. In that case, the people doing this should take the
opportunity and also check the license and source availability of the
document - there are many with unclear status, see #345604
