Because it's not part of the base system (i.e., under the src/ tree in
the repository). I was under the impression that this is a reasonably
formal rule (i.e., anything that's not in src/ gets installed under
/usr/local/ (or wherever the appropriate Makefile variable is set to))
but that some things ignore it. For example, the Japanese manual pages
install under /usr/share/man/ja, not /usr/local/share/man/ja.
