You can do it in a pbuilder chroot, from an xterm or similar:
# pbuilder login #or whatever command brings you in a clean sid environment
# apt-get -y install tetex-bin perl-tk # texdocrc will not be installed
# export HOME=/root # pbuilder doesn't seem to set this correct
# export DISPLAY=:0.0
outside the chroot:
mount --bind /tmp/ /var/cache/pbuilder/build/16537/tmp/
cp ~frank/.Xauthority /var/cache/pbuilder/build/16537/root/
(or course, replace the number and username by the strings appropriate
on your system).
Now you should be able to bring up an X window, e.g. try with xdvi.
If that works, try texdoctk:
# texdoctk
Couldn't open system-wide default config file texdocrc.
