Comment (by atagar):

 Nyx used to. Gentoo wanted something different so I added a '--man-page'
 and '--sample-path' argument to our setup.py. But the custom installer
 caused problems for our latest release...

 I'd be delighted to take a patch that adds them back. Now that we use
 setuptools rather than distutils it might not be so tricky.

 The reason the nyxrc.sample is in the web directory is so folks can
 download it from https://nyx.torproject.org/nyxrc.sample. We can add a
 symlink if you need it elsewhere.
