I think we should create /opt because the FHS requires it, and possibly /opt/README.debian if the FHS allows it, but nothing more. Anything else that is created there is entirely the responsibility of the sysadmin, and any use the system makes of things under /opt should be at the sysadmin's discretion. No Debian package should make assumptions about what it might find there by default. In other words ``There be Dragons''. It is in the white uncharted bit of our map, so if the sysadmin wants to go there, they'll have to fill in the details as they go along. Cheers, Phil.
