There's a little bit more of a distinction than that.<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/usr/bin is meant to store binaries that are part of the system, and<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/usr/local/bin is meant to store "locally installed" binaries.
I guess as a matter of interpretation, managed packages are considered part of the system and compiled packages are considered non-system. Seems fair to me, but I'm sure somebody has started a holy war over it.
