I don't understand what you mean here. How do packages get into the system location if they're not installed there at some time? What, specifically, do you hope people don't do?
I meant installing packages from sources into /usr. I know some people do that under debian for example, and of course, they overwrite/mess up the package most of the time (because dpkg has already its own version there, for example). What else would you mean by system location ?
