Citing FHS [1]: "Programs to be invoked by users must be located in the directory /opt/<package>/bin or under the /opt/<provider> hierarchy. If the package includes UNIX manual pages, they must be located in /opt/<package>/share/man or under the /opt/<provider> hierarchy, and the same substructure as /usr/share/man must be used." And more importantly: "Distributions may install software in /opt, but must not modify or delete software installed by the local system administrator without the assent of the local system administrator." -- Regards, Bohuslav "Slavek" Kabrda.
