Ah, I didn't know that. More work for texdoc.tlu - while I hate being
shown the Catalogue page if the package documenation has a generic name
like "manual.pdf", I think it *is* useful when there's nothing
available.

Well, I'm always for "ask first, drop later". But if there was some
upstream discussion which lead to its removal, I don't think we should
keep it (since it would mean we have to take care for new upstream
versions etc.).
