I don't regard /usr or /opt as relevant to this, although I suspect that using /opt/X11 is not usually worth the trouble. But for some packages, the recommended packages might prevent taking it if you do not use them.

And also, of course, thanks to Pierre for discovering the details. ĸen -- Before the universe began, there was a sound.
