Where did you get this version from? Do you use the files on the tug
server?

Official is still -1.

Yup, this seems to be the problem. I guess because there is a link
	/usr/share/texmf-texlive/doc -> /usr/share/doc/texlive/
missing.

I am not sure how to cope with this. Long time ago I decided that the
documentation files are actually installed into /usr/share/doc/pkgname/
and the rest is linked. The advantage of this: You get compression of
all the stuff for free (dh_compress).

tetex otoh has the documentatio in /usr/share/texmf-tetex/doc ...
and links FROM /usr/share/doc/...

So now there is a mess.

No idea. You could add the  above link by hand and it should work for
now.

Best wishes

Norbert
