Because it is standard to have libraries, headers, manual pages and so on
located under common sub-tree. /usr/local is specifically handy for
placing non-system wide and programs locally installed by user
(and is defined in FHS 2.1 for such purpose).
Using /usr/local/midgard instead of /usr/local will end up with having
multiple sub-trees for each application like /usr/local/midgard,
/usr/local/apache, /usr/local/php, /usr/local/whateveryouwant. It is out
of common use of Unix paths. I'm not saying that for shared libraries
/usr/local/midgard will create additional problems with /etc/ld.so.conf
configuration -- you need to add each unique subtree there for each
product which uses its own shared libraries.

They are all is going under single tree /usr/local.
