If "/etc/staff-group-for-usr-local" exists,

/usr/local
/usr/local/bin
/usr/local/etc
/usr/local/games
/usr/local/include
/usr/local/lib
/usr/local/sbin
/usr/local/share
/usr/local/share/man
/usr/local/src

are

chown root:staff
and
chmod 2775

so that you can install into "/usr/local" if you're a member of "staff".
