Yes.

No, that's SELFAUTODIR.

We could issue a warning or we could put something at the end of
first-setup.sh (that needs to be renamed anyway) to tell users that
they should either adjust path or use the script.

I might be having weird habits, but I really like being able to have a
simple single command that switches the TeX tree.

export PATH=/something/very/long/:$PATH costs more effort to type than
just ". setuptex" :) :) :)

Wiki could/should be modified for sure. One day I need to revise all
kinds of instructions for different installations ... (finishing study
in time has a high priority at the moment).

The initial idea of setuptex was to shield all the environmental
variables that have been set by tetex. I suspect that cleaning up
setuptex had a consequence that it's not able to shield tetex any
more, but nobody has complained so far ...
