Today I have received pull request [1].
Since line 62

and since packaging guidelines [2] say that a package may only use
directories in the |/opt/fedora,|

I don't think that guideline applies, as it concerns only stuff under
/opt, not /etc (or /etc/opt)

Having actually read the guideline now, it *does* apply to /etc/opt too.
Sorry

I think it's perfectly fine to drop a config file in /etc/opt/chrome to
interact with Chrome that uses that directory.

The spirit of the guidelines is to avoid using /opt and /etc/opt for
software that fedora ships (and instead install to /usr and /etc). But
this is a different case; Fedora doesn't ship Chrome and the package in
question is an extension to Chrome and needs to put files in
/etc/opt/chrome. This should be perfectly in line with the spirit of the
guidelines.
