There is an issue here of installing binaries / standard parts of binaries
(f.e. man2html installs executables etc) in home. I think it would be
better (and conforming to the standards) to put the executable binaries in
a standard location in /usr.
The webpages/ html code can be seen as editable application components and
thus should be in /var
