Hi, Norbert, Jörg and others.
Here is the opinion of a long time Debian luser (and DD wannabe), based
on the naming that I am already used to with other packages.

What about texlive-bin-base?

And similarly for all the others:
texlive-<language_here>-doc? Or, perhaps:
texlive-lang-<language_here>-doc (see this to avoid confusion with the
packages below).

What about:
texlive-lang-african?
(...)
texlive-lang-vietnamese?
With this scheme, the user would have two packages, possibly:
texlive-lang-<blah> and
texlive-lang-<blah>-doc
and this would make it more or less obvious what the packages are
about. What do you think?

Since there and others are generated by texlive-extra-source, it would
perhaps be a possibility to append -extra to their names, so that the
users already used to the Debian naming would automatically know that
they are extra packages.
Please sorry if I am talking nonsense here, but I'm sleep deprived. :-(
Thanks for all your work, Rogério Brito.
