I fear that, unlike texdoctk, texdoc simply uses ls-R as a database.
Thomas recently mentioned that one can define aliases, but I think that it is best if the authors provide fixes.
It may be best, but is it practical? Will aliases help when you have dozens of manual.pdf files? I suspect it is much easier to make changes in texdoc to support "package/manual". On systems that support symlinks one could process the doc tree to make package/manual.pdf -> package/package.pdf. -- George N. White III Head of St. Margarets Bay, Nova Scotia
