/opt is bad because it's contents are not supposed to be dependent on anything else. /usr/local is bad because it's meant for non-distribution packages.
I'm curious...why is it so much of a problem to put it in /usr/local ? I am not that familiar with FHS or LSB, so please forgive me if this sounds totally nuts. On my openbsd machine, they have decided /usr/local is for anything that is "not essential to the base system." To their way of thinking, anything besides the base system (perl, libs, ssh, etc) is considered a "non-distribution package." Why do KDE or GNOME _not_ fall into this category?
