Hope I don't say anything stupid here :-)

The way I understand it, /usr/local/whatever is reserved for stuff you
installed yourself, be it things you've written or tarballs you downloaded
from the net. /usr/whatever et al is reserved for stuff that is "part of
the system", which I interpret, under most linux distributions (debian
being an excellent example, given that it has tons of packages installed
in /usr), as "managed by the package system".
Also, it's expected that /usr can be mounted read-only (via NFS, for
instance); to that effect, files that may change ("high scores" for a
game, status files for the package manager, logs etc) are kept in /var;
and finally, global configuration files are kept in /etc.
Hope that was useful :-)
See ya,
Nelson
