/usr/local/etc isn't included in the FHS. There is no absolute limitation against it. (See below.) However, the title of section 3.7 is: "3.7 /etc : Host-specific system configuration" From: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2/fhs-3.1.html The root filesystem contains many system-specific configuration files. ... From: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2/fhs-4.9.html 4.9.2 Requirements The following directories, or symbolic links to directories, must be in /usr/local "/usr/local" bin games include lib man sbin share src .... Tree 4.9.2.1 No other directories, except those listed below, may be in /usr/local after first installing a FHS-compliant system. So, /usr/local/etc doesn't exist after a default install. Okay, so let's create it. There's no restriction against that. I personally like this idea. The only problem is that the FHS specifically states that "host-specific system configuration" is to be stored in /etc. It's a tough call.
