And they'll get executables in both /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin. Seems quite normal to me. "Merging" of /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin by searching PATH works very cleanly, so it is not a problem. If merging Info directories could work smoothly as that, it would not be a problem to have multiple Info directories either. We can aim for that, but I am not confident that we will get there.
