I think the idea there is that the user doesn't have to tweak their PATH, etc. to find the installed stuff. I have quite a few things in my ~/bin and ~/lib/python... You could certainly install them under ~HOME/be, but that would require you chaning your PATH, PYTHONPATH, ..., which sort of defeats the purpose of installing at all ;). Shall we go with /usr/local as a default then? -- This email may be signed or encrypted with GPG (http://www.gnupg.org). The GPG signature (if present) will be attached as 'signature.asc'.
