Yeah, that is what I am doing, too ... in Debian.
But when installing docfiles (or not installing docfiles)
I match the docfiles against man/man?/... and if that matches,
the file will be handled separately.

Strongly against ... the file types have a strong relation to
the packaging of the tlpobj containers, and introducing
a new category would create a lot of havoc.
Esp, since it should be *easy* to
for my $f ($pkg->docfiles) {
if ($f =~ m!texmf-dist/doc/man/man./!) {
# do something with the files
}
}
or similar for whatever language you are using.
