Some distros reject the whole idea of /usr/local, basically.
They make no distinction between system packages in /bin or /usr/bin
and local packages in /usr/local/bin (and their lib analogues): it's
all just packages.
Ok, but since all autotools-based source packages automatically
use /usr/local as prefix, distros should at least prepare for that situation
and not let the user stand there scratching his/her head.
cheers,
