I thought in this discussion was already mentioned: distribution
musn't touch anything in /usr/local.
<nod> I think you're trying to speak to a different point than I am
making.
I'm not saying that we should touch anything under /usr/local. I'm saying
that /usr/local is precedent for subdirectories of /usr/ that "live outside
of the OS".
