Great. One suggestion: When packaging for Debian, we compress all
documentation files[¹]  with gzip. This is no problem for texdoc, because it
is designed for this, but it currently requires that we patch the
helpindex files. It would be great if you provided a script that could
regenerate the file on a given site, and take .gz (and possibly .bz2)
into account.
