--prefix is not needed because /usr/local is the default path when the
installer is run as root.

I can't test it, because 'man lilypond' opens the man pages of the debian
package (version 2.16.2).
I don't know how to open those in /usr/local, I never use the man pages.

What's the problem here?
$ sensible-browser
/usr/local/lilypond/usr/share/doc/lilypond/html/Documentation/web/index.html

and save the preferred page in your browser.
The LilyPond documentation packaged in Debian splits PDF and HTML manuals
in two different packages/locations.
The contents of the doc files downloaded by the install script seems just a
copy of a doc build.

They work fine here. Maybe you are not describing the problem correctly?
