I second this opinion. While /usr/local may be the default install
prefix, it may serve as a trashcan for outdated relics on many systems
which do not use the default prefix. As soon as the user specifies a
prefix other than /usr/local, /usr/local should be ignored unless the
system's tools automatically look there.
