Yes. That's what is done for most packages in Slackware and Slint.

This is not a hassle for distribution packages' maintainers
who have had templates with --prefix=/usr since decades.

And having /usr/local as default helps users who build their
own packages without using a template no to mess with /usr

I am not speaking on behalf of Patrick Volkerding though.
