It should come up any time that someone is using Xastir packaged by a
Linux distribution that follows the LSB.  /usr/local is not to be used
by distribution packaged code, and so the distribution developers
maintain a delta against Xastir in perpetuity.  Not a fault in Xastir.

Many first-time users of Xastir may discover the program through
distribution packages ... so it helps to remember what they will
experience.
