Okay, I agree.

Hmm. For me 'texdoc -l latex' in a shell showed me this:
1 /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/doc/luatex/luaotfload/luaotfload-latex.pdf
2 /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/doc/support/light-latex-make/llmk.pdf
3 /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/doc/support/latex-papersize/README
= Readme
4 /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/doc/support/latex-git-log/README.md
5 /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/doc/support/light-latex-make/README.md.gz
6 /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/doc/support/hook-pre-commit-pkg/pre-commit-latex.gz
Searching around my system, I don't find the file, but all latex
packages seem to be installed. Maybe it's not in Debian Bullseye?
If this is a general problem, then new users would have to figure out
what wasn't installed (Chromebook starts with a pretty barebones
Debian). Perhaps a URL is better to avoid installation issues?
