Correct. Nothing being shipped with Fedora must install anything to /usr/local.

The fact, rt3 owns some (%ghost'ed) directories therein, doesn't mean vendor
supplied packages may install something there.

I haven't checked all details yet, but as far as I understand (so far), your
package is facing a design flaw in rt3: Lack of a "system-wide plugins
directory".

I am not sure what to do about it. We could try to hack rt3 to add one, we
could try to change rt3 to using a plugins-directory somewhere below /usr (not
/usr/local), or we can try to change/configure this package such that it
installs into perl's standard system search paths.
