How about creating a stripped version of tetex-doc-nonfree, reduced
by the part sitting in other packages (context-doc-nonfree)? This
avoids redundancy and the docs in context-doc-nonfree will be more
recent anyway.

If some stuff from beamer is still in there we should keep it until
the beamer maint. took care about that stuff.

I suggest to:
1. create a new package tex-doc-nonfree, which contains the docs in
question and provides the old package tetex-doc-nonfree.
2. file a wishlist bug against beamer to take over its stuff
3. care about remaining deps for tetex-doc-nonfree and file bugs
against the packages in question.
