Hi Manuel,
it's a nice solution for the time being.

Sure, but before I ask the catalogue maintainers, I have to discuss it
with Thanh.  Don't know how to treat vntex-man.pdf in the future.  And
I don't want to bother the catalogue maintainers more than once.

The catalogue is maintained by the CTAN crew and they already invest
their whole spare time...
