Comment 39 for bug 1306991

I am aware that this might not be the right place to ask, but here it goes anyway:

Can anyone explain to me why python-pip installs requirements for livestreamer in /usr/local/ ? This is against FHS and Debian policies about what /usr/local/ may be used for. I used to work in an environment where /usr/local/ was an NFS mount to which clients had no write access, so any attempt by the package manager, maintenance scripts or for example puppet to place files in /usr/local/ would fail. This would have made maintaining packages like livestreamer very cumbersome. I hope this will get addressed in the future?
