5 /usr/local is a bad choice for an ebuild-generated default. Like I said in bug
6 #253725 I don't want ebuilds to mess with stuff in /usr/local. So either remove
7 this default completely and let the user decide when setting up layman or move
8 it around.
9 The best suggestions I've read here for now were either /var/layman or
10 /usr/layman which I would have no problem with.
