Yes, this is texlive's man! Very annoying indeed. I saw packagers removing
it. I'm not sure though if that breaks 'texdoc' behavior or something. I'd
rather move man/ to texmf/ and remove texmf/doc/* tree completely, if
safe. Maybe texdoc as well. And nasty man/man?/*.pdf files, of course,
too.

Texlive, being installed to /usr, overwrites many programs in /usr/bin.
One example is 'psutils': if not disabled in configure, the internal
version builds together with texmf stuff and goes to /usr/bin, over the
installed BLFS package. Maybe there are other package conflicts, I don't
know. Personally, I think texlive is a good candidate for the /opt
hierarchy.
