Package: bash
Version: 3.1dfsg-8
Severity: wishlist
File: /etc/skel/.bash_profile

/etc/skel/.bash_profile currently adds ~/bin to the user's PATH if it exists.
Please consider doing the same for ~/local/bin .  Some time ago, I read a
recommendation to instal software with the prefix ~/local , to avoid having
many top-level directories in my home directory (~/bin, ~/man, ~/share, ~/lib,
~/sbin).  Since then, I have run into other people who do the same thing, and
I have seen other documentation making the same recommendation.

If you fix #420664, requesting automatic support for ~/lib, please support
~/local/lib as well.
