There are exceptions for certain files like .desktop files, DBUS service files, etc which need to be in /usr to be useful. The simplest option going forward is likely to be a wrapper[0] which is used when packaging which moves files into /opt, but when the application is run it uses a unionfs overlay to make it appear as in /usr to the application. This also handles rewriting the .desktop file to use the wrapper. I'll test out your application with this by the end of the weekend & see if the wrapper is suitable, or if it needs more work. If it does, then you shouldn't need to create a separate source just for Ubuntu.
