I don't understand the suggestion.  /usr/local is the standard destination in GNU kits.  The reasoning is that people install directly from those kits only when they aren't using the packager's package files.  And if so, the whole idea is to make sure such user installs don't conflict with the packager's bits.

Packagers know this and know how to override the default destination when they build their packages.  And it doesn't make sense for TZ to attempt to do this, because different packagers have different naming tree conventions.  This is one of the main things that makes Linux a mess: half of the Linuxes out there put stuff in /usr, and half put it in /opt, for no reason that I know of.
