If you generate RPMs for SUSE, rather than just for your own use, you will
surely need to conform to their policy. I should be most surprised if
that allowed their RPMs to use /usr/local, which should be for the local
administrator rather than for the distribution.

That is, of course, why Red Hat's RPMs and Debian's packages relocate
PostgreSQL into directories that conform to those distributions'
policies.
