  This has already been discussed in the past.

I know, however the result of these discussions has been an unacceptable
solution.

  Setup scripts should be
  kept in /usr/local/etc.  If you want to share /usr/local, symlink it
  to wherever you want.

That is not an acceptable solution to the problem,  it requires a fair bit
of sysadmin support.  The default should be to assume /usr/local *IS*
sharable, which works for both shared and unshared environments.
