Indeed, the asymptote doc is not linked into the texmf tree and thus not
found by texdoc. I faintly remember it was in former times, strange.
I will fix it.
basically
mkdir -p /usr/share/texmf/doc/support/asymptote/
ln -s ../../../../doc/asymptote/asymptote.pdf /usr/share/texmf/doc/support/asymptote/asymptote.pdf
mktexlsr /usr/share/texmf/
should (it did here) make
texdoc asymptote
bring up the correct doc.
Best
Norbert
