[l2h] Installation conflict

Today trying out some installation of the l2h code in the repository I met
a rather unusual problem. I was wondering if anyone has experienced this.
If you try to install latex2html from the sources at GitHub, with the
sequence
./configure
make
make install
and you do NOT have a local (personal) texmf tree -- the installation
proceeds fine, and places a bunch of files from latex2htmlmaster/texinputs/
into
/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/latex/html.
Note: trying to install LaTeX2HTML style files in TeX directory tree
(/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/latex/html)
Info: Installed /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/latex/html/htmllist.sty
Info: Installed /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/latex/html/html.sty
Info: Installed /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/latex/html/techexplHTML.tex
Info: Installed /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/tex/latex/html/url.sty
some of them extremely old (20 years old), but the problem never appears
because the new files on
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/
take precedence and most stuff continues to work fine.
On the other hand though if you HAVE a personal TeXMF tree, then the
install script places the files in there:

(/home/paulo/texmf/tex/latex/html)
Info: Installed /home/paulo/texmf/tex/latex/html/frames.sty
Info: Installed /home/paulo/texmf/tex/latex/html/verbatimfiles.sty
Info: Installed /home/paulo/texmf/tex/latex/html/url.sty
and these take precedence over the system files (with kpsewhich) and
because of the old files a LOT of things break down with the TeX
installation, including biblatex -- because of the old "url.sty".
Three files are problematic because they share name space with files in the
TeXLive distribution.
