I really dislike the idea of /usr/local. Users should install everything through the package manager, otherwise stuff just collects in /usr/local and there's no easy way to remove it (if 3 different users install 5 different programs in /usr/local, how do you remove one of those programs?). Also, one thing I think is needed right now is an easy way for users to install programs in $HOME, only for themselves (not system-wide) and without root access. On most distros (AFAIK), you can only do "sudo apt-get install PKG" (or something similar) which installs the package system-wide for everyone, or you can go through the whole configure&&make fun to install a program in your home directory. I'd like to see something like $HOME/bin and $HOME/lib where users can auto-install binaries that only they use.
