Well - its bad habit to install plugins "system wide" for that reason
eventually.

Many ftplugin files have a b:did_ftplugin setting, you should set it in
your custom file to prevent the system wide to take any action.

Typical guards look like this:

if exists('b:did_ftplugin')
finish
endif
let b:did_ftplugin = 1

Another way is to "override" settings by using ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/*
which should be loaded last.
