If you want/need to install custom package, you can do that even in Debian.
But do not install them in /usr. That space is reserved for packages
handled by the dpkg package manager. Installing in /usr may overwrite
files belonging to dpkg-installed packages, and this will surely bring
trouble. Installing under /usr/local is fine.
