Curious.
On my Gentoo:

$ equery b /usr/share/texmf-dist/doc/latex/latex-doc-ptr/latex-doc-ptr.pdf
 * Searching for 
/usr/share/texmf-dist/doc/latex/latex-doc-ptr/latex-doc-ptr.pdf ... 
dev-texlive/texlive-langenglish-2021 
(/usr/share/texmf-dist/doc/latex/latex-doc-ptr/latex-doc-ptr.pdf)

This package is a part of default TeXLive installation (on Gentoo) for
English language environment.

We should definitely provide the URL link. At least as one option.
