OK, forget it.

I think we're almost on the same page for this. In FreeBSD /usr is the 
base system and /usr/local is everything that the user added on top of 
it, and I like it exactly because "you can always `rm -rf /usr/local`".

Hence I would never publish packages that install somewhere else but 
/usr/local. And if Debian or Ubuntu want to make it part of their 
system, they can install in /usr.
