The installer still sets up a non-empty MANPATH. Using an empty MANPATH
is only recommend on ProblemHotlist as it is the most easy fix, but adds
additional time to search from bin for man or share/man.

We often talked about apache2 as a bad example of mtree violation and we
agreed that it is bad and should be changed. But if I remember correctly
this is the default layout the build system produces.

We could even provide a small "gnuify" script in ${prefix}/bin which
would set up the appropriate PATH and MANPATH. For users it wouldn't
matter if the GNU binaries with original names are in ${prefix}/gnu or
${prefix}/libexec/gnu or whatever, they just call gnuify once (or add it
to their profile).
