Can we please put /opt -> /usr/opt and the empty /opt tree in the base package, before things get any worse ? Also I propose to mandate in the policy manual that packages which use /opt should provide appropriate links or files in /opt/{bin,lib,man,include,info,doc} and that packages which search paths must look in /opt too. Comments ? (And see the recent FSSTND/FHS work on /opt - it's deliberately very vague.) Ian.
