Yes, there is: system packages should by installed with the system's package manager. Otherwise, you have two systems managing the same set of files, causing tears and suffering.
Packages not installed with the system's package manager should be installed elsewhere, e.g., a local install in a user's home directory, or (in the worst case) /usr/local or /opt.
