Is this what should be expected?
Looks ok.
Notice the `man' symlink (pointing to
`../../texmf/doc/man') in the new binary directory. Is this correct?
Well, it's intended anyway. There are some man programs -- at least the
one on MacOSX, and I think others -- which will automatically look for a
man directory in the directory where a binary is found. Which obviates
the need to set MANPATH for TL users, which is a good thing.
Even if a particular man program does not look at the dir, it seemed
harmless to have it there. Hopefully no shell has such a bad bug that
it considers a symlink to a directory to be an executable program!
Thanks,
karl
