The Problem is that you often end up with a mess because some third party installers/package manager overwrite files of your distribution packages. And a few weeks later a new update for your distribution arrives and replaces some of the newer files with another older but patched set.
Right. We know you can have two systems in parallel: distro repository manages system-wide texlive, and tlmgr manages local user texlive.
I would think, though, that there should be a way for the distro repository to set this up automatically for the end user.
This is how, after all, python packages are managed (through setup.py). But I agree if you really need this, advanced users can figure it out by themselves. I can only dream.
