I think Debian doesn't place anything there, except for creating some
directories during install. However, there are cases in which you need
that space in /usr/local, e.g. if you want to install some games like
UT or Quake 3 or install self-compiled software. I would however think
about making /tmp bigger.

Well, the advantages and disadvantages have been discussed here
repeatedly. Just take a look at the archive.
