Which place for docs in French, German, etc?

The documentation directory structure should be based around making
it easy for A. N. Punter to find the documentation they're after. If
we go for:
$texmf/doc/<language>/<package>
then this makes it easy to find (e.g.) all French documentation, but
difficult to find (e.g.) all documentation on AMS-LaTeX. If we go
for:
$texmf/doc/<package>/<language>
then the situation is reversed. I find it unlikely that A. N. Punter
is going to be searching for AMS-LaTeX documentation in French and
would rather find French Babel documentation than English AMS-LaTeX
documentation.
In addition, so few packages have multi-lingual documentation that I
think it's pointless adding an extra directory level for the few that
do.
