Ok, this is a valid point, more or less.
What we could do is leave the reference to "man perf-list" in perf list
output and *not* build install-man unconditionally. This way, people
who want to see the manpage, will need to install required packages. On
distros the manpage is already present so all is taken care of.
This way, we avoid the text duplication of adding this to perf --help.
