I now think your original proposed change is better. Maybe, as a follow-up, we might move the distributed manpages in a subdirectory in 'man/', and copy them over back in 'man/' when the system lacks a perl interpreter and thus cannot run help2man on the freshly-built executables. But as I said, that's for a follow-up (if it is done at all).
Thanks, Stefano
