A Yes it was similar except /usr/local was /var/lib/install. And it was done in such way that no package could ever put file outside of /var/lib/install (the only way that gives you some additional security you probably want). So you had 2 classes of packages (system ones in / and user ones in /var/lib/install) which made system more complex and prevented you from making 'system' packages i.e. ones which modifes or extends the system in interesting way.
As an example, privoxy wouldn't work (can't edit init scripts to make auto start) nor would openssh, dropbear, or becomeroot. This packages all require root--for good reason. Debian systems always require root to run dpkg and apt. I think it would be unwise for this platform to customize those tools simply because it has flash memory instead of a hard disk. Call it an embedded platform, but it's a hand-held computer. --Paul
