Hmmm... I researched this years ago and the consensus was that /usr/local should be used for third party (not distro) stuff on UNIX style operating systems.

I checked it again and it seems to still be like that. System administrator installed local packages that are not part of the distro should go into /usr/local.

The .deb format is just an installer format used by Debian, using it does not imply that the software package is part of the Debian distribution.

If you have other information, feel free to provide a pointer to it.
