afaics, that's a violation of policy 9.1.2, assuming that "files" includes
symlinks:
As mandated by the FHS, packages must not place any files in
`/usr/local', either by putting them in the file system archive to be
unpacked by `dpkg' or by manipulating them in their maintainer
scripts.
However, the package may create empty directories below `/usr/local'
so that the system administrator knows where to place site-specific
files. These are not directories _in_ `/usr/local', but are children
of directories in `/usr/local'. These directories
(`/usr/local/*/dir/') should be removed on package removal if they are
empty.
[...]
However, because `/usr/local' and its contents are for exclusive use
of the local administrator, a package must not rely on the presence or
absence of files or directories in `/usr/local' for normal operation.
Regards,
Adam
