I agree with this point.

I agree with Heiko: putting language at such a high level in the
hierarchy is not very convenient for the user browsing the directories.
By the way, that's exactly why texmf-doc is a problem.

I join with his proposal of

texmf-dist/doc/<package>/lang-<two-letter-code>

I think the lang- prefix is really useful if the information is to be
used by automated tools. For the sake of simplification, (and to void
moving a lot of stuff), the lang-en component could (should) be omited
for most packages, which ship only English documentation.

I have a complaint from my past self, when I was a "normal" user :-)
Arthur says he has complaints too.
