This would be a system wide installation, so as a user you'd need a way to turn it off. There may be situations where your system administrator has installed something into that directory that you don't want to have on your CLASSPATH (version conflicts ...). We already have a lot of support for RPM builds in our starter script. We could simply hook in Debian systems using the same mechanisms without changing anything. Just provide a /etc/ant.conf which adds the directory (or the jars contained in it) you talk about to LOCALCLASSPATH and you are done.
