You would need to simply copy the file.

By default, yes. But you can do anything you wish. Packagers in particular need to be aware of the FHS and to place the right files in the right places. This is usually done in packaging scripts. > This is not what I want, I'd only like to have "install" in > /usr/local/bin and its corresponding man/info page in /usr/local/man > (or /usr/local/info).

Really that is okay. On non-native systems I normally do not install all of the files. Programs such as hostname and su have been commonly debated programs which might move into other packages, as a couple of examples. I can't think of any program from coreutils which is not okay to copy standalone. But that is just off of the top of my head.
