Thanks for submitting this problem and helping to make ubuntu better.
This is actually correct this way. /usr/local/bin contains the local
installations for the particular machine. They should be in the path
before the distribution-standard version, otherwise they would never be
used.
There are still administration rights needed to install anything to
/usr/local/bin. Therefore the administrator of a machine can put easily
different versions there, without changing the distribution itself.
There is no security issue in this.
Thanks
