While texdoctk heavily needs latex documents that are not all installed with texlive-base, should it be moved to come with texlive-full as a last resort? Also texdoctk needs perl-tk which is not installed with texlive-base. Texdoctk.desktop icon is just ugly and needs to be manually removed from applications directory.
