is there a way to get a soft link in the distribution image from /usr/local to /storage/local?

Is there a way to optionally get a soft-link installed to create a /usr/local pointer in the squashfs image to /storage/local? There are a number of pretty obvious things this enables. And for many of us who want to extend LibreElec it would make things easier.

What is special with this path? And why exactly you need it? Most things can be done in some other way on LibreELEC.

Please, enlighten us.

The soft link would be /usr/local as a link from /storage/local.

The reason is I want to package a number of other tools and options with the amazing work you have done but in using the squashed fs you eliminated that. I want to sidestep the problem and allow those of us who want to expand what you have done to other deployments.

Make addon with all the tools? Or just copy files in /storage/.kodi/addons/your_tools/bin and it will be in PATH.
