I don't want to install it in /usr/local/bin or /usr/local . It should
install as a regular package.

It somehow feels dirty and then when you have to remove something like
$ sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/wrsym or something like that with no idea
if anything is elsewhere.

I much prefer the standard way of purging packages.

$ sudo aptitude purge wrysum.

If that last step could be helped. I hope there is a way to do that,
even if the final package at my end says wtysum+1local.deb or
something like it.

Looking forward to know how to do it :) Hope I am making sense.
