/usr/local is ONLY for locally installed programs, not for system
installed programs that were put in with a system install utility like
apt-get, dselect, alien or pkgadd. A locally installed program is
typically something you might compile from source, that's why
/usr/local/bin is always LAST in the path (if at all in the path) on all
unix systems.
Hope this helps explain the 'why' of debian and other unix boxen
