Description
I've noticed that the RPM files produced in releases unfortunately do not conform with Filesystem Hierarchy Standard 3.0 - https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/fhs.shtml
Specifically https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/ch04s09.html
/usr/local is clearly intended for software that you compile yourself, as in you run ./configure and then make install does the all target first to compile the software and install puts it in /usr/local. When you package things, you override the default prefix of /usr/local to /usr unless your project is needed for boot, like busybox.
Please fix this. Someone already ate your lunch when you weren't looking: https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/harbottle/main/epel-8-x86_64/04392008-sops
