Frank hinted at he might have solved this problem independently of the
config settings, but maybe I missunderstood him. Anyway, I copied the
texmf.cnf snippets from current tex-common svn to /etc/texmf/texmf.d
and run update-texmf. After that both texdoclua and texdoc.notluatex
do find the .dvi.gz file before the .html file. However, texdoclua
returns only 'File exists' and *does not start the previewer*. I have
no idea why.

TEXDOCEXT looks fine now. I am still not convinced wrt to altering
TEXMFCNF.
