I went ahead and implemented that in texdoc 0.81, just uploaded to TeX Live. Now
texdoc finds its configuration files in $TEXMF/texdoc in the order prescribed by
the regular precedence between texmf trees.

Which means the default configuration file should be installed in TEXMFDIST if
TEXMFMAIN happens to have higher precedence than TEXMFLOCAL (as in the case in
upstream TeX Live).

I hope it fixes the problem.

Thanks for your suggestion,
Manuel.
