I agree that it's special :) Yet, it doesn't answer the question whether
packages are allowed to be broken by installations into /usr/local. I don't

It's just an installation prefix of many possible. Installations into
`/usr/local` should provide files for binaries of that prefix and installations
into `/usr` (source installation or packages) should provide files for binaries
in that prefix.
Well, yes, that's the purpose of /usr/local. If you screw with it, you
