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).
