is it possible for a package to be included in more than one collections?
No. It's fundamental in TL that the collections exactly partition the
packages -- nothing left out, nothing duplicated.
I think `polyglossia` shoudl be both in the `collection-xetex` and
in the `collection-luatex` collection.
I agree something should be done. There are a number of packages which
attempt to support both xetex and luatex; fontspec and unicode-math are
two others (right now in two other collection-*'s, for no particularly
good reason).
I have had thoughts of creating something like collection-unicodetex
(hopefully with a better name) with such packages, but have not done it
yet. I think your email will spur me to do so :).
Best,
Karl
