+The FHS stipulates that the /usr/local directory should contain the bin, games,
+include, lib, man, sbin, and share subdirectories. You can alter your /usr/local

+which we don't much like for a base system. But feel free to make your system

+/usr/local/share subdirectories, so we took the liberty of creating the
+directories that we felt needed.
