On slackware and debian /usr/local is used by some programs sometimes
though originally /usr/local directory hierarchy was intended to be a
place in which things could be put by the system administrator and be left
alone by the system's package updates system. If it was in that folder
hierarchy, the system's package system for updates was supposed to bypass
it. Actually on both slackware and debian the proper prefix for those
systems is /usr in order to put info files where they'll be found by info
using the infopath variable. Specifically /usr/share/info/ and this was
one of the things preventing me from updating existing outdated org-mode
documentation until I figured it out.
