A bit of searching suggests the most common patterns are:
PKG-doc
PKG-doc-TYPE (TYPE is like "html", "ps", "info" etc.)
PKG-doc-LANG (LANG is usually code like "fr")

Not sure, but I guess either just "texlive-doc" or "texlive-doc-base".

Existing usage seems a bit mixed; the main common point seems to be
"-LANG" as a suffix. Some patterns are:
PKG-LANG
PKG-locale-LANG (this seems the most common)
PKG-l10n-LANG (openoffice uses this)
PKG-i18n-LANG (kde uses this)
I don't know if there's some technical nuance to the term "locale" which
would make it inappropriate for texlive's usage, but it's the most common
so would seem the best bet generally.
[For stuff like "cjk" and "arabic" I'd just use the same namespace -- it
seems very unlikely they'll ever conflict with a new language code.]

I think "PKG-bin-extra" would be better.
I think debian usage mostly agrees with the original texlive names
except for the details of some common tags, e.g. "doc" instead of
"documentation" and more hyphens.
So how about as a start, just:
sed -e 's/-documentation/-doc/' \
-e 's/-lang\(uages-\)*/-locale-/' \
-e 's/bin$/-bin/' \
-e 's/binaries/bin/' \
-e 's/basic-bin/bin/' \
-e 's/-basic/-base/' \
-e 's/\(extra\|recommended\)$/-\1/' \
-e s/armenian/hy/ -e s/bulgarian/bg/ -e s/croatian/hr/ \
-e s/czechslovak/cs-sk/ -e s/danish/da/ -e s/dutch/nl/ \
-e s/ukenglish/en-gb/ -e s/english/en/ -e s/finnish/fi/ \
-e s/french/fr/ -e s/german/de/ -e s/greek/el/ \
-e s/hebrew/he/ -e s/hungarian/hu/ -e s/italian/it/ \
-e s/japanese/ja/ -e s/korean/ko/ -e s/latin/la/ \
-e s/mongolian/mn/ -e s/norwegian/no/ -e s/polish/pl/ \
-e s/portuguese/pt/ -e s/russian/ru/ -e s/spanish/es/ \
-e s/swedish/sv/ -e s/tibetan/bo/ -e s/ukrainian/uk/ \
-e s/thai/th/ -e s/vietnamese/vi/
