I have tried both ways, no difference for me.
Using now:
install -v -m0755 lsof /usr/bin &&
install -v lsof.8 /usr/share/man/man8
I get a warning, always that, only that:
lsof: WARNING: can't stat() fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon file system
/home/fernando/.gvfs
independent of suid root or not.
But have not yet read anything about it other than here.
