I use Debian and everything goes under /usr/share/kicad (apart from documentation that goes under /usr/share/doc/kicad) And here's the proof that the same is true for Ubuntu as well: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/all/kicad-common/filelist http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/i386/kicad/filelist So, as long as you keep your modified kicad installation under /usr/local, there is really nothing to fear.
