This shouldn't matter, if it should matter for bitwig, then flea a bug
against bitwig.
You could configure to chose the location /usr instead of /usr/local.
./configure --prefix=/usr
And this is where the checkinstall, which I did not
know about, utility
might be very handy, if it does what it says it can do.
So your commentary is very good timing ! Sehr toll.
Is there any other detail to be aware of, apart from the example you
provided, regarding running checkinstall and, most importantly, using
the generated package to replace the existing installed components ?
No! Just keep in mind that Debian and Ubuntu split packages and
make install as well as checkinstall don't do this, so your package does
replace package.deb, libpackage.deb, libpackage-dev.deb etc. with
package.deb only, providing everything. So you need to remove all the
unneeded packages [1].

I replaced "abtitude" and now there's no time left to do the shopping.
