If you'd like to easily have links to it in /usr/local/bin,
/usr/local/man/man1 etc, have a look a package 'stow'. I install all
my locally compiled software in directories under /usr/local/stow and
have stow make the links needed.
$ apt-cache show stow

Description: Organiser for /usr/local/ hierarchy
GNU Stow helps the system administrator organise files under /usr/local/
by allowing each piece of software to be installed in its own tree under
/usr/local/stow/, and then using symlinks to create the illusion that
all the software is installed in the same place.
