I wouldn't recommend installing int into /usr, since it might conflict
with other files installed by the package manager.

Installing it into /usr/local probably won't create any new problems
(apart from ones inherent with installing stuff manually). Some of the
extra stuff like the systemd units and integration with other packages
may not be included.

On another note, it's not really recommended to install stuff like that.
https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian but I assume you know what
you're doing.

Thanks, Lck, that's certainly good advice, and a good link!

I do plan to chroot the binds, so I trust all will work well.

Thanks again.
