~/.local/ is described in the "XDG Base Directory Specification":

Actually, why not just "egg"?  That's parallel to "rpm" at least, and there 
isn't such a command installed on my Ubuntu box already.  (Using synaptic to 
search for "egg" resulted in little that actually had "egg" in the name or 
short description; there was wnn7egg (a Wnn7 input method), but that's really 
it.)
