TLDR : trying to move the binaries to /opt/texlive/2015/bin is a
non-starter.
Well, I solved those problems (still not quite sure why the sed was
failing), but when I tried to run my tests on the binaries I
discovered that none of the sty files seemed to be present. Digging
down,I tried to look at texdoc kpathsea to see why kpsewhich seemed
to be failing, but all I got was:
/opt/texlive/2015/bin/texdoc:7: module 'texdoc.main' not found:
no field package.preload['texdoc.main']
[kpse lua searcher] file not found: 'texdoc.main'
[kpse C searcher] file not found: 'texdoc.main'
no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.2/texdoc.so'
no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.2/loadall.so'
no file './texdoc.so'
and indeed those .so files did not exist (not really surprising,
given where it seems to be looking, but they are not present at all
in the /opt/texlive tree).
Then I decided to try running pdflatex anyway, and got:
kpathsea: Running mktexfmt pdflatex.fmt
Can't locate mktexlsr.pl in @INC (@INC contains: /opt/texlive/tlpkg
/opt/texlive/texmf-dist/scripts/texlive

line 25.
I can't find the format file `pdflatex.fmt'!
Makefile:22: recipe for target 'pdflatex' failed
make: *** [pdflatex] Error 1
When I installed from source into /opt/texlive/2015/bin/x86_64-linux
I also had problems with kpathsea, but they were different (I needed
to install a perl _module_ from the TL tree - to be certain, I
installed both of them).
I've now unmounted that attempt and had another go, but using
/opt/texlive/2015/bin/x86_64-linux for the binary progs - and it
works.
Summary: the apparently-redundant 'TEXARCH' directory is required.
