I'd agree with that, except for the fact that he is making a .deb to
be installed by the package manager.
In Debian...
/usr/bin is for stuff installed by the package manager which becomes
effectively part of the OS. The package manager tracks every file it
installes to ensure ovewrites can't happen etc...
/usr/local/bin is for stuff installed from source, not using the
package manager.
