yeah, well, i don't like to deviate from defaults either, but the fact is that
those defaults are not very good in the first place.
i mean, all major distros still need to patch python to learn about /usr/lib64,
because upstream still hasn't figured out how to do it on their side. same
thing with separating purelib and platlib for noarch-ness. it still messes up
quite a number of packages that don't expect that purelib and platlib can be
two different places.
this /usr/local stuff is minor compared to that, but as long as we're changing
the defaults anyway, we can as well do this properly (and exercise the new
install path configuration in the process)
also, if you aren't watching it already, i can highly recommend python's
distutils-sig mailing list. they are doing very neat things with distutils
