This is because all crypto stuff (including all profiles libs above) ends up in a single distribution (crypto), and we do not provide the crypto-manpages, crypto-proflibs, etc. distributions. > What do I do with _h2ph_pre.ph and man.local?

It's usually a good idea to (periodically) installworld to a different DESTDIR, and compare what you have with what you get. This way, you can get rid of many cruft (most of the cruft settles in /usr/include and /usr/libdata/perl). I do this twice a year on my machines, space permitting.
