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 
seem to find a resource which answers that question. Since that's not a 
launchpad.net discussion, I opened 
http://askubuntu.com/questions/779430/are-system-packages-installed-into-usr-allowed-to-be-broken-by-source-installat
 to figure this out.
