Thanks for the info and analysis. In the past, we've tried to separate TEXMFMAIN and TEXMFDIST differently from upstream: TEXMFDIST is for texlive packages, texmfmain is for other Debian packages (in order to allow them to shadow our files, if they keep more frequent update cycles). However, there have always been some things that we left in TEXMFMAIN, in particular stuff in web2c which would have required patching binaries. So it's not trivial to decide, although it seems to me that the "Debian way" would be to patch texdoc.tlu.
