# `dir-in-usr-local`

The package installs a directory in `/usr/local/...`. That is not allowed.

If you want to provide an empty directory in `/usr/local` for convenience of the local system administrator, please follow the rules in the policy manual (section 9.1.2), i.e. create the directories in the `postinst` maintainer script but do not fail if the operation is unsuccessful (for example, if `/usr/local` is mounted read-only).

Severity: | `error`
Experimental: | `false`
