It seems to say that modules installed by the local administrator should be solely under /usr/local/.

If Debian is setting them strangely, that's their problem. - -- Ed Avis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Finger for PGP key -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8lhAiIMp73jhGogoRAu/ZAJ0R/2rUZSuKGyYZr2H7jlvBJti23ACfSiNa Bvq6sbYMP3ybkmCczTHujMU= =0M2g -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
