This is pure opinion: Get a second opinion: My understanding is that /usr/local is the base of the tree used for software *not* installed by the distro's package manager. When I compile my own dmenu or lyx, it goes under the /usr/local directory, with all executables going in /usr/local/bin. My understanding is that the distro's package manager never puts anything in the /usr/local tree. If the thing is an executable, it goes in /usr/bin. Libraries go in /usr/lib. Header files go in /usr/include. Fonts and themes and other stuff like that goes in /usr/share. If /usr/local/VDEV is a directory, I'd imagine you'd farm out its files to the directories listed in the preceding paragraph. If VDEV is an executable, it would go in /usr/bin, or perhaps /sbin or /usr/sbin. Like I say, I'm the world's least authoritative person when it comes to package managers, but if I've understood what I've heard others, the preceding pretty much sums up what to do.
