To add my $.02 to this discussion: it's common that sites have /usr/local
as a network share that only site admins can write to
(two places where I've been had a central NFS mount on /usr/local and
one had an AFS share there), so if I were to install CWB from .rpm/.deb,
so it may be more friendly towards some users to have it install in /usr or
/opt.
(I install from sources, where it goes, and *should* go, into /usr/local).

Best,
Yannick
