It would be nice if it could be considered to add/create: /etc/local /usr/local/libexec
Thanks for the report. I'll add /usr/local/libexec as the outcome for this bug report. According to what I read, it should exist because /usr/libexec also exists.
/etc/local is even kinda indirectly standardised by FHS: https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/ch04s09.html "/usr/local/etc may be a symbolic link to /etc/local."
I don't think that's a mandate to provide /etc/local, because /etc/local is missing in the chapter about /etc. I see it just as a way to allow /usr/local/etc to exist as a directory or as a symlink, at your choice. Since we do not provide /etc/local, it should be ok for /usr/local/etc to remain as a directory. Thanks.
