Comment (by dliessi):

 Replying to [comment:3 drkp]:
 > There's not really any point installing that directory structure
 anywhere else, so we should probably just skip it if non-root.

 I agree.

 > Are there any other configurations where we should also skip it?

 I don't see a technical reason to avoid cleaning the old texdists and
 creating the new one, if we have root privileges.
 The current code already sensibly deals with non-default prefixes.

 > Maybe it should be a default variant?

 Indeed a user might want to disable the texdist creation.
 As for the old texdists, given that they do not work anymore and that
 MacTeX considers them property of MacPorts, I would delete them
 unconditionally.
