Higher or equal. But indeed, it is less easy to bump in previous 
release without becoming greater than devel. However the dist really
doesn't makes sense here.

(tetex/texlive)-doc holds the texdoc utility which can be used to view docs
in the texmf tree. texlive-texmf-doc holds most of the documentation,
and the _texmf/doc/latex is owned by texlive-texmf and texlive-texmf-doc.

So the texlive-texmf or texlive-texmf-doc is in my opinion needed for
directory owning. But (tetex/texlive)-doc is less needed, in my opinion, 
the doc can be viewed without texdoc.

Yes, they are if in the texmf tree, since then they can be accessed
by texdoc which uses kpathsea to locate them.

No it doesn't, but I said in Comment #20 not to do it is F-8 is 
targeted.
