One thing that sounds interesting is to not use it in LFS, but use it in
BLFS. That way people learn both methods. If that is not feasible for
BLFS, then I don't think it should be in just the LFS book as removes
the need to do things manually. Repetition is good for learning while
building LFS.

Yes, in the current "normal" LFS, this config.site file can be really used for --prefix=/usr only. But let's move forward. There's no /usr/info, /usr/doc and /usr/man compatibility symlinks in FHS 2.3, and LFS still has them. In order to remove them, we must add --mandir and --infodir to each package (and thus teach people bad habit of typing long commands when shorter ones work), or use config.site.
