Why should they be in /usr/local?  If a package is in the book, it is
part of the "distro" and should be in /usr (or /bin or /sbin).  If a
user installs something that is *not* in the common blfs, then
/usr/local (or /opt) is available for that.

Then again, a user can put things wherever they want.
