And the catalogue page is sometimes a good way to find the actual doc, using the (non-working) documentation link to find the right name.
Anyway, Karl wants to remove the catalogue, for the two following reasons (unless I misunderstood him) : (a) it gets outdated very fast and makes a few Mb, which slows down the updates (b) we have a lot of information from the Catalogue in texlive.tlpdb. When I asked him about that, he suggested that when no documentation is found, texdoc prints a message with a link to the package's page on ctan (or the search page in case no package is found on ctan). That's what texdoc does now, but I don't know if Karl already arranged the redirection. Any comments or ideas welcome. Anyway, since we have the project to enable using texlive.tlpdb from texdoc, this problem should not last very long. (There will be other problems, like what do we do with packages from the catalogue with no corresponding TL package, for example when they are parts of bundles...)
