IMO, a package built from a proper SlackBuild should not be putting 
files in /usr/local.  They are manageable packages that _could_ be 
deployed on multiple systems, and even if they aren't it's a little 
different than using "make install".

The correct solution (I think) would be for python to have a 
vendor-python directory much like perl's vendor_perl that we've started 
to use.  But there are other overlaps here, too.

What a terrible name.  Perhaps suggest that to the LSB as an offical 
directory under /usr?  ;-)

Perhaps /opt would be a better choice.  You can decide how to arrange 
your $PATH.

My $0.02.
