 extra steps to get it, which means few will do so. If you get TBB from a
 friend, you've never visited torproject.org and won't know this exists.

 It will be shipped with the packages, but not inside the packages. The
 manual explains how to verify the package you downloaded, and also how to
 extract the package archive. Putting the manual inside the package won't
 make any sense.

 Also, I suggest we update the text on check.torproject.org to say "Hey, if
 you need help, download this fancy user manual".
